A QUICK INTRODUCTION ABOUT WHAT YOUR COMPANY DOES/YOUR VALUES/MISSION.
My company is a hay service provider in Caddo County Oklahoma. We value the farmers of the world and realize the livestock that feeds Americans must be healthy, so we strive to find, ship, and provide the best quality of hay we can, from all over the United States, to the farmers of Oklahoma. Our mission is to make the task of finding quality hay at an affordable price more convenient for local farmers in order to produce and keep healthy livestock.
TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF?
I grew up in Choctaw Oklahoma, and studied at the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma, attended welding school, then later received my CNA certification in order to become a full-time caretaker for my disabled grandmother who lived on the family farm in a rural area in Caddo County Oklahoma called Anadarko,
IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN TIME A YEAR OR TWO, WHAT PIECE OF ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE YOURSELF?
I would have started my hay service business already, so my grandmother would have lived to see my accomplishments with the farm that she and my grandfather worked so hard to build.
WHAT PROBLEM DOES YOUR BUSINESS SOLVE?
The task of having to find good quality hay to feed the livestock of Oklahoma.
WHAT IS THE INSPIRATION BEHIND YOUR BUSINESS?
My inspiration came when I purchased a horse from the Stroud Oklahoma kill pen during a season of serious drought, making it almost impossible to find good quality horse hay that was nearby. The issue of not finding hay for sale to feed the livestock was not only my problem but also for the farmers of Caddo County.
WHAT IS YOUR MAGIC SAUCE?
I work with hay providers all across the United States to find the best quality of hay and sell it at affordable prices to the farmers who need it.
WHAT IS THE PLAN FOR THE NEXT 5 YEARS? WHAT DO YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE?
I hope that my business continues to grow so I will be able to provide not only Oklahoma farmers with the hay they need but also be able to provide Farmers all across the United States with a reliable informational source of hay networking in order for all farmers to be able to get the hay they need, whenever the need should arise.
WHAT IS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE YOU’VE FACED SO FAR?
The weather in different states has caused a variety of different problems making the task of finding the quality and quantity needed at an affordable price an ongoing challenge from day to day.
HOW DO PEOPLE GET INVOLVED/BUY INTO YOUR VISION?
The farmers of Oklahoma, along with Farmers all across the United States and even individuals who own any sort of livestock, understand the demand for good quality hay in order to ensure the health and happiness of their livestock.
