August has been a busy month at Cross Creek Ag Solutions, and this week Kyle and Brad break it all down. They discuss what it was like welcoming Ag View Solutions and their peer review group to evaluate the operation, recap the success of Field Day 2026, and share how recent weather patterns have affected spraying across the region. They also give listeners a first look at a brand-new product line coming from Cross Creek Ag Solutions.

This week on the podcast Kyle and Brad sit down with special guest, Chris Barron.

Chris Barron is the Director of Operations and President of Carson and Barron Farms Inc. in Rowley Iowa, and founder of Ag View Solutions. A University of Dubuque graduate, Chris has spent more than 30 years helping farmers improve profitability, strengthen business performance, and plan for the future while remaining actively involved in his own farming operation.

In 1996, Chris developed Farm Profit Manager to better measure cost of production on his family farm. What began as an internal management tool has grown into a widely used platform that helps hundreds of farms across the United States and Canada make informed financial and operational decisions. Through AgView Solutions, Chris works with farming families and agribusinesses on leadership, succession planning, communication, multi-generational growth, and long-term profitability. Alongside his wife, Alissa, Chris helps agricultural operations build stronger businesses and more successful futures.
