What happens when you mix a century-farm upbringing with the fast-paced world of tech startups? In this episode of Beyond the Gate, we sit down with "idea man," entrepreneur, and cattleman Kevin Johansen—who also happens to be Jamie's husband. Kevin shares the journey of founding Ag Butler, an app that brought the gig economy to agriculture by connecting farmers with skilled labor.
He pulls back the curtain on pitching an Ag Tech concept on a national stage and how he now consults to bridge the gap between innovators and producers. Beyond the tech, we dive into his passion for elite Hereford and Charolais genetics and the daily grit required to balance a modern startup with life on a century farm.
