Happy National Agriculture Week!

Brand Shepherd founder Dan Crask breaks down the three things his firm does for nearly every agricultural brand: brand clarity, mobile-first content delivery, and telling hard truths.

Every major technology shift creates new roles. Think back through the last few decades: the desktop computer, the internet, mobile, and social media. Each one reshuffled the deck. Some existing roles evolved. Entirely new ones appeared out of nowhere.

AI is doing the same thing right now. And we’re still in the very early stages of it.

But here’s what I find strange: I haven’t heard anyone put a name to the new type of person that this era is calling forward. So I’m going to do that. Why not me?

The role is the Expert Generalist.

For well over a decade, Agriculture brands have trusted Brand Shepherd to give them a voice that stands out in the marketplace, without sacrificing their integrity.

We build Ag brands that work hard. Because so do we.
Brand Shepherd was founded by a proud Midwesterner whose grandparents farmed. The Crask farm is still standing in Southern Illinois. Our founder spent his teenage years working as a detassler, a rite of passage for every kid who grew up between the soybean and corn rows of Illinois. That experience didn’t just put calluses on his hands. It put something in his bones about what it means to show up, do the work, and take pride in what you grow.

Brand Shepherd eventually planted roots in East Tennessee, where we’ve had the privilege of partnering with AgLaunch as a mentor organization and working alongside Ag brands across the region and beyond for more than a decade.

This year marks 20 years in business, built entirely on Midwestern work ethic, reputation, and word of mouth. No gimmicks. No shortcuts. Just the kind of brand strategy that earns trust the same way a farm earns a harvest: through consistent, intentional effort, season after season.

Over the years, we’ve had the honor of helping shepherd brands like ExcelAg, Grow Seven, Grain Weevil, Foxadise Farms, Eden Concepts, Ed’s Walking Horse Farm, and many more. Each one came to us needing a voice that was as credible and hardworking as the people behind it. That’s exactly what we build.

If your Ag brand is ready to stand out in the marketplace while staying true to who you are, we’d love to have a conversation.
