Manage episode 417464996 series 2972642
Bryan Buerkle grew up on his families farm in Eastern Montana learning many valuable lessons about the struggle that farmers face trying create a sustainable business model in this world. Working full-time on his families farm was not a viable option when he finished high school, and he had to look for other alternatives. College and engineering was the path he chose, and it led him all around the world designing and building tractors for John Deere.
Today, Bryan is back in Montana and he is devoting himself to helping farmers to create a business model that will see them through. He and his partners have started Farm Pro, which is an online business designed to help small to medium sized farmers find available revenue that would otherwise be hidden from them. Farm Pro is currently focused on farmers who have one to a few trucks capable of hauling commodities, and connecting them with farmers and businesses who need those commodities hauled.
This is the beginning of this start up business, and it is moving towards a day that it connects farmers who can offer a wide array of services to people who need those services in their surrounding communities and regions. If you are considering starting your own business as the method of creating your off-farm income, this is an interview that could prove very beneficial to you.
