He grew up on a farrow-to-finish hog farm, and was able to purchase his own farm land recently in 2019. Brad has also experienced other aspects of agriculture outside of farming, including working in commodity research and training in New York, agriculture finance in Chicago, and he started his own business as an e-commerce platform for farmers online.

Brad McDonald is currently enrolled into Continuum Ag’s Regen Roadmap program. Using the Regen Roadmap program and the advised cost share and carbon payments, Brad is looking to improve his profitability by 41.2%, which is a 383% return on investment from hiring Continuum Ag.
