OFI 1235: The Next Level Of Agricultural Marketing | FFA SAE Edition | Jeremiah Geise | Rushville Consolidated High School FFA

Off-Farm Income

Every now and then in an interview there is so much information to cover that I find myself exceeding the normal length of an episode. That was definitely the case in my interview with Jeremiah Geise.

I first learned about Jeremiah because he was a national proficiency finalist in the category of diversified livestock. As they say, that was only the "tip of the iceberg". Jeremiah is doing a lot more than raising multiple species of livestock, i.e. pigs, sheep and goat. He is also using artificial insemination to breed as much as he can, and he has discovered multiple niche markets. He also had set up contracts and direct marketing on all three species. So, when he has an animal born on his farm, he already knows who the buyer is and that the buyer exists! This is next level agricultural marketing!
