2. Hi, I’m Farmer Kevin.
I was 24, and had just finished my last apprenticeship.
3. I tried to find land to buy or lease.
I didn’t have a reputation yet or enough funding.
4. I applied to FarmStacker online.
FarmStacker helped me put together my business plan and gave
me some funding!
5. FarmStacker’s database connected me to a grass-fed cattle ranch
that had some unused land for my business.
FarmStacker crafted a mutually beneficial lease to share the land.
6. The landowner loved the extra income and better grass for his cows.
I was able to launch my farm with just $20,000.
9. FarmStacker enabled the rancher to sell me his farm.
He felt good about leaving it in my hands.
10. Now, FarmStacker lets me help new young farmers.
Because of FarmStacker, I was able to start. And because I was
able to start, I was able to succeed.
11. FarmStacker will transform the farming profession.
