Episode 82 of MF Cast featured Wagner Pires, an agronomist, pasture specialist, speaker and consultant. Since he was a child, Wagner showed a natural inclination towards the countryside, drawing farms in great detail and collecting soil samples during trips with his father, collecting them at home. Although he did not come from a family of rural producers, his passion for agriculture was evident and intuitive. After the loss of his father at the age of 14, Wagner found a new purpose in agriculture, leading him to study agronomy and work hard to stand out in the sector. During his first job, Wagner developed fundamental skills for his professional career. He began working in the sales area of ​​companies and, over time, learned the importance of connecting with the public and selling his own image, instilling confidence in the client. His experience in sales, combined with his passion for public speaking, were differentiators that drove him to seek new paths. After facing a time of crisis and almost losing his job, Wagner decided to follow his true calling: training companies and ranchers to improve pasture management. With great effort, Wagner developed a course with the goal of transmitting knowledge in a simple and accessible way. With this course, he traveled throughout Brazil and Latin America, always improving his knowledge and sharing his experiences. His training was widely recognized, and his practical and accessible methodology earned the respect of ranchers and agribusiness companies, even leading him to write a book on the subject. Throughout the episode, Wagner addresses topics such as pasture degradation, the importance of correct management, and the challenges of family succession in livestock farming. He also highlights the fundamental role of training and efficient management in modern livestock farming, showing how small adjustments can generate great results. With over 40 years of experience, Wagner encourages ranchers to adopt sustainable and innovative practices, always thinking about the future of their farms and the legacy they will leave for future generations.
