    Ag Queen Podcast | Episode 107 | Mark Twenhafel | Midwest Ag Risk Kontrol
    2026/07/22
    Mark Twenhafel, owner of Midwest Ag Risk Kontrol, discussed his company's fire control product, Firebull. His farm, established in 1910, inspired him to seek a better fire extinguisher after experiencing ineffective traditional methods. He discovered Firebull, which attacks fire by cooling it, creating a protective coating, and preventing burnback. Firebull mixes with water to create foam, magnifying its effectiveness. A 3% mix handles most farm fires, while a 6% mix tackles magnesium and metals. The Air Three system, which produces 60 gallons of foam from 3 gallons of liquid, enhances reach and efficiency. Twinhoffel emphasized the importance of quick fire response to prevent significant damage.Visit Mark here: (1) Facebook
