27 Combines, 30,000 Acres of Corn, and One Big Lesson: Justin Bruch's Global Farming Story

Justin Bruch is back for one of the most wide ranging Farm4Fun conversations we've had in a long time. A fifth generation Iowa farmer, Justin has farmed on four continents, worked in more than 40 countries, managed 135,000 acres in Ukraine, and overseen the harvest of nearly 30,000 acres of corn annually with a fleet of 27 combines. His agricultural journey has taken him around the world, but it all started on his family's northwest Iowa farm. In this episode, Justin shares stories from his years farming in Ukraine, the cultural differences he experienced, lessons learned managing large scale operations, and what ultimately led him to discover ‪@mayacornheads‬. What started as a search for more reliable harvesting equipment turned into a business venture that helped bring MAYA to North America, where Justin and his family have never looked back. We also dive into farmland investing, organic transitions, soil health, entrepreneurship, global agriculture, and the realities of building businesses both on and off the farm. If you enjoy conversations that blend farming, machinery, business, travel, and a few unexpected detours along the way, this episode delivers.
