About:

Brad’s operation is truly a family-run business. He and his family farm 5,500 acres in southern McClain County, Illinois, growing corn and soybeans. Together with his family and some full-time help, they’re able to reach their yield goals while holding off hard-to-control weeds like waterhemp.
