Brandt – Giving Back to the Community, 14 Years of NASCAR, & Input Sales in More Than 80 Countries

For more than 70 years, BRANDT has been helping growers become more profitable. The company’s straightforward approach to doing business worked in 1953 when Glen Brandt and his sister, Evelyn Brandt Thomas, founded the company, and it works today. Their belief in innovation, honesty and first-class customer service was a help to local farmers, many of whom were their neighbors, in their hometown of Pleasant Plains, Illinois. That same philosophy, first learned on the family farm, continues today in a thriving business that helps bring success to farmers around the world. For BRANDT, it all starts with family — first it was a brother and sister — and it’s still that way today as Glen’s son, Rick, leads the company and its 400+ employees in bringing the latest advances in technology and proprietary products to markets across the globe.
