OFI 1281: How Multi-Level Marketing Is Saving Farms | Corey Strothman | Conklin Company
Episode 1281
Thursday, 13 January, 2022
Our guest today is a 4th generation farmer, and he is trying to reclaim a farming operation that was lost in his family so that the operation can go into the 5th and 6th generations and beyond. Corey Strothman has an interesting story of growing up on his families farm and then his father having to stop farming independently and lease out their ground when Corey was ten years of age. For about 22 years Corey's father actually farmed the family ground for another farmer who was leasing it from them. Then, around the time that Corey was in his early 30's the opportunity arose for he and father to partner and start farming independently again. This was not as simple as it sounds. The land was there, but the equipment was not. So, a lot of outside income was going to be required to get things up and running and return the operation to the productivity that it once had. This required Corey to produce off-farm income. Today, Corey's wife works in town, he is a John Deere mechanic full-time, and he is an independent distributor of agricultural and automotive products for a company called Conklin
