Kam Harper’s Road Back to Agriculture
Kam Harper grew up on a cotton farm, but his road back to agriculture took him through the Marine Corps, law enforcement and an unexpected business opportunity. In this episode of the Louisiana Farm Bureau Podcast, Karl Wiggers visits the Franklin Parish farmer and owner of Macon Ridge Specialty Drones to discuss how a magazine article sparked a spray drone business and how a conversation with a longtime farmer opened the door to farming for himself. Along the way, Kam shares how faith, family and his agricultural community keep him going through the toughest days.
