Welcome to Barn Talk! In today's episode, we're joined by Brandon from NBC Precision Spraying LLC a farmer and ag entrepreneur who's been making waves on TikTok with his authentic, no-BS takes on agriculture. Brandon shares his journey from growing up on a small Iowa farm, building a custom spraying business from the ground up, and landing the opportunity to massively expand his operation through the power of relationships and hard work.
We dive deep into the realities of farm expansion, balancing family and business, finding reliable labor, and the fast-changing world of ag technology from the first sprayers to cutting-edge "see and spray" machines. Brandon opens up about the challenges and rewards of telling ag’s story on social media, how sales skills translate to success on and off the farm, and why building a legacy for the next generation matters more than ever.
