Brandon Hunnicutt represents District 3 for the Nebraska Corn Board and currently serves as the vice chair. He’s a fourth generation farmer who lives on a farmstead that has been in his family for over 100 years where he farms with his dad, Daryl, and brother, Zach.
Brandon tries to incorporate cutting edge technologies into his farming operation, which has resulted in him being featured in numerous farm publications and sit on the farm panel for the annual conference of the University of Nebraska’s Water for Food Institute. He has also been involved in encouraging others in the industry to use social media tools to help tell the story of agriculture and showcase the exciting things farmers are doing to help protect the environment while increasing food, feed, fiber and fuel production for Nebraska and the world.
Brandon, thank you for your service on the local, state and national level!
