Peer Groups are Power Tools from an Army Ranger, Farmer, Business Owner

Peer Groups are Power Tools from an Army Ranger, Farmer, Business Owner

In this episode of the Farm4Profit Podcast, we sit down with Shay Foulk—a fifth-generation farmer, Army Ranger veteran, agronomist, consultant, and podcaster who wears many hats in agriculture. Shay grew up on a family farm in Northeast Iowa, studied agronomy at Iowa State University, and went on to serve five years in the U.S. Army’s 75th Ranger Regiment, an experience that sharpened his leadership and discipline. Today, he continues his service in the Illinois National Guard while managing his family farm, Foulk Farms, and co-operating Monier Seed, a seed cleaning and packaging business.

Shay’s passion lies in conservation-minded farming—using cover crops, precision tools, and variable-rate fertilizer strategies to protect soil health while driving profitability. Beyond his own farm, he serves as a consultant and coach with Ag View Solutions, where he helps farm families tackle everything from profit management and equipment analysis to succession planning, peer groups, and team health.

He also reaches thousands through his podcasts—Ag View Pitch and 19 Minutes with Chris Barron—where he shares timely market outlooks, business insights, and farmer-to-farmer conversations that resonate across the industry.

Listeners will gain practical advice on:

Building sustainable and profitable farm practices.

Approaching farm management with a business-first mindset.

Balancing family life, military service, consulting, and farming.

Why podcasts and peer groups can be powerful tools for farm education and connection.

Shay’s story is one of resilience, innovation, and service—making this episode a must-listen for anyone navigating the challenges of modern agriculture.
