220 - From Grain Carts to the Future (& Many Things In Between!)

Jon Kinzebaw and his company, Kinze Manufacturing, lay claim to being the inventor of the grain cart — in an Iowa welding shop — 51 years ago. Today, Kinze Manufacturing is a global short-line Ag implement company whose 650 employees make and sell grain carts, planters, and tillage equipment. Jon’s daughter, Susie, company president, joins me for a wide ranging discussion about business and Agriculture. Just a few topics covered: the evolution of farm equipment, how the supply chain squeeze is impacting machinery sales, international growth, consolidation, the innovative and decision making advantages of being an independent company, and why using what you make makes you more intuitive.
