Justin Bruch is back in the Farm4Fun studio, and as always, the conversation goes far beyond the original topic. What starts as a discussion about a recent trip to Spain and the Maya Corn head factory quickly turns into a fascinating journey through global agriculture. Justin shares stories from managing large-scale farming operations in Ukraine, developing farms in Brazil, working in Africa, and helping introduce innovative equipment solutions that eventually led to the creation of Maya Corn heads in North America. In this episode, the crew discusses: Touring the Maya Corn head factory in Spain How Maya Corn heads were discovered while farming in Ukraine Managing more than 250,000 acres across multiple countries The realities of farming in Ukraine before and during wartime Stories from Russia, Siberia, Africa, Brazil, and Canada Why Ukraine may have some of the best farmland in the world Global differences in farming practices and technology adoption Corn head design, reliability, and residue management The impact of tariffs and international trade on agriculture equipment Rising fertilizer and diesel costs facing American farmers Soil health, carbon sequestration, and regenerative agriculture Organic farming opportunities and market challenges Why equipment efficiency matters more than ever in tight-margin years Justin also dives into the economics of modern farming, discussing nitrogen availability, residue breakdown, organic matter, and practical ways farmers can improve profitability while building healthier soils. The conversation includes an honest look at current agricultural policy, 45Z opportunities, regenerative agriculture, and what the future may hold for American producers. Along the way, listeners will hear unforgettable stories involving international travel, farming in post-Soviet Ukraine, navigating foreign business environments, and lessons learned from agriculture around the globe. Whether you're interested in equipment, agronomy, world agriculture, or simply great storytelling, this episode delivers all of the above. Want Farm4Profit Merch?
