SHOW NOTES

Today we get to profile a fascinating agricultural business. Craig Bailey, the owner of Green Mount Grain Roasting, will be joining us to talk all about the business of mobile grain roasting. This is a very niche business, and as he will explain you need to be located in the correct type of area for this business to work.

Craig is a fascinating entrepreneur. He has a high risk tolerance, and that his what led him to start his poultry farm and to purchase the equipment for grain roasting. In addition to that he is doing row crop farming and raising some livestock.

This is a fascinating business that I never knew about until one of our listeners, Josh Gullman, contacted me and suggested it. Craig serves smaller farmers and dairies in his area who don’t raise enough grain and soybeans to purchase their own roaster, and who are not big enough to get priority at the stationary roasting businesses. Craig services four states with his equipment, and believes there is room for other people in the U.S. to start this business as well.
