Farming by Day and Designing by Trade
In this episode of the Farm4Profit Podcast, we head straight to the intersection of innovation and agriculture with two Ag Leader team members who aren’t just building the future of farming — they’re living it.
Meet Evan Boderman and Chad Stensrud — two seasoned professionals at Ag Leader who also happen to be active row-crop farmers. Evan, part of the product management team, and Chad, leading territory sales and support in Minnesota, give us a behind-the-scenes look into how their careers in ag tech perfectly complement their real-world experiences in the field.
🧑🌾 From Office to Field
What sets this episode apart? Both guests use the same Ag Leader precision ag tools they help develop, support, and sell. From guidance systems to yield monitoring, they rely on Ag Leader’s technology to run more efficient, accurate, and productive operations on their own acres.
They share how their boots-on-the-ground experience helps them improve the products they stand behind. Whether it’s suggesting software improvements or testing new hardware in-field, Evan and Chad are living proof that Ag Leader’s solutions are built by farmers, for farmers.
🚜 Real Ag. Real Feedback. Real Innovation.
The conversation uncovers how their feedback loop enhances the company’s commitment to Made in America innovation, reliability, and top-tier support. Their insights lead to better tools — not just for themselves, but for farmers across the country.
Their dual roles also reflect a growing trend: the value of having product developers who understand farming firsthand. It's one thing to sell precision ag tools — it's another to trust them enough to use on your own farm.
🎙 Favorite Cab Snacks & Can't-Live-Without Tools
To wrap things up, we throw in a lighthearted rapid-fire round — their favorite farm equipment, go-to snacks in the tractor cab, and the Ag Leader features they can’t farm without. (Spoiler: You might be surprised which tool gets the most love!)
If you’ve ever questioned whether ag tech companies really “get” farming, this episode will prove it: Ag Leader walks the walk — because their team farms the farm.
