The Johnson family story includes both the family farm and a custom harvesting business. “My Mom loaded me up into the back of a one-ton dually pickup with a camper when I was five weeks old and we headed down to central Texas.” Leah Johnson’s agriculture journey led to an ag economics degree at North Dakota State University. After a year in the corporate world with Pioneer, Johnson had the opportunity to become part of Red River Sales and Agronomy, a Pioneer agency in Elbow Lake, Minnesota, in 2014. A few years later, Johnson was able to begin her farming career. “My landlords made the decision to retire and they gave me that opportunity to rent their farm and be their successor. To be plucked out of a lot of farms in our area was just a blessing and it has been great to dive head first into farming.” Watch the video interview.
