AgWatchers

It's important to remember not to have all your eggs in one basket unless you are an egg farmer; if you have eggs, hold onto them because they are worth a fortune. We invited friends of the podcast David Smyth and Tim Banfield of Euroz Hartleys onto the podcast to talk about something important: investing your money, thinking about retirement, and succession planning. You can visit their website at eurozhartleys.com ______________________________________
