What happens when you combine $1,000, a kitchen table, and a farm garage with a massive vision? đźšś
In this episode of Beyond the Gate, Jamie sits down with Eric Schnelle of S&H Farm Supply to chart the incredible growth of a family business that started in 1969 and expanded into seven physical locations across rural Missouri. Eric shares behind-the-scenes family history—including how a member of the Ozark Mountain Daredevils penned their legendary "S&H Country" jingle over a plate of cheeseburgers—alongside the modern realities of managing a multi-location equipment dealership in 2026.
From navigating global manufacturer boards and smart tractor telematics to recruiting high school FFA students straight into hands-on trade careers, Eric breaks down why trusting your gut and valuing local relationships beats a textbook business plan every single time. 👨🌾🌾
