A visit with Kevin Van Trump

Kevin Van Trump wears several hats. His website bio describes him as “CEO, Farm Direction, Angel Investor, Trader, Corp. Coach and author of the Van Trump Report”.

Van Trump was the keynote speaker this week at the joint annual meetings of the Nebraska Corn Growers and Nebraska Soybean Associations. In this interview with Brownfield, he talks the need to innovate; commodity agriculture and why it may make sense to “de-commoditize”; electric vehicles and ethanol; and the growing influence of millennials on the ag and food industries.
