AP007 So What’s Agripreneur All About

Landon Rhodes’ interest in farming and agriculture initially began while growing up on his family’s farming operation near Exeter, Nebraska. After graduating from high school, he attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to receive his bachelor’s degree in Mechanized Systems Management. In 2016, he became part of the Tredas family. His current role at the company is to introduce clients to our experienced team of brokers while improving communication between current clients and brokers. Over the last year and a half, he has realized his passion for the media and advertising industry and will soon follow his passion of helping clients improve their marketing strategy through his new company, Grindstone Media.

Doug Simon also grew up on a family farm based in Louisville, Nebraska. Following his high school graduation, he attended the University of Nebraska. After earning his bachelor’s degree in International Affairs and Agriculture Economics, he became the president of an international beef export company, and later became the President and COO of RF Nature Farm Foods. His previous background and experience play a significant role in the way he helps Tredas clients identify and mitigate risks and build successful agriculture businesses.

Landon and Doug join me today to share what the Agripreneur podcast is all about. We discuss our goals for the show and our mission to use the podcast as a platform to help farmers bridge the gap between farming and entrepreneurship. We also discuss the importance of identifying consistent paths to take in your agriculture business as well as how identifying consistencies in the market can help you mitigate risks and build a successful business.

“The idea behind our talks are going to be about risk, different people’s managed risk, and try to identify things they can do to mitigate that.” - Doug Simon
