Brooke Kirkman
Brooke loves working in the background on all the things you can’t see, that make Farms of the Future a program designed around putting our farmers first and putting life changing solutions in their hands.
Brooke understands how important both reliable and relatable information is for an agricultural business, especially when that involves introducing new investment opportunities in things like Agtech. Ag What? There’s so much information out there, so many quick fixes being thrown about, but who knows what’s what, really?
The good news is her experience in the industry allows her to make understanding the benefits of Agtech simple and a little less daunting for you, so you can get on with doing the hard yards – but a little more easily.
Having lived both worlds working on the land and behind the scenes in the industry, she gets the challenges, and also gets that new opportunities are the key to making sure that bottom line as sweet as it can be, and the getting there is as easy as possible.
For now, she loves taking what she knows from all the ‘boring’ hours of training, meetings and planning, testing and creating with the Farms of the Future team, and sharing that with you, the ones out there with your boots on the ground. She’s all for getting rid of all the fluff and developing resources that make understanding the hard stuff easy, helping you figure out what you need and how it’s going to help.
You know the saying ‘you don’t know, what you don’t know? The getting to point of ‘knowing’ is the part that leads us to success, to a better life for our family, more time, more money, more joy. Brooke is glad to be part of simplifying that journey in an industry that provides for so many!
