About Brian Voth
Originally from Altona, MB in the heart of the Red River Valley, Brian Voth grew up in a construction family, with his dad still running the company he bought in his 20’s. It wasn’t until Brian was 19 that he went to work on a farm for the first time, but it was enough to hook him. The following summer, he did custom spraying for Agricore and worked on a separate farm during non-spray days, then deciding to pursue post-secondary education.
Brian completed the Diploma program at the University of Manitoba and graduated with the Finance option, to go into Ag lending. However, the marketing class got him hooked within the first two months and changed his focus. As a summer job for two years, Brian worked as a grain buyer at Bunge in Altona, buying canola and flax for the crush plant.
Shortly thereafter, Brian enrolled in the Degree program, immediately following Diploma, and two years later he finished with a B.Sc. in Agribusiness. While in the Degree program, he started working part time as an advisor with Ag-Chiev out of Winnipeg, advising farmers on selling their grain.
In 2010, having become an expert in grain marketing, Brian was looking for a change and started a franchise of Agri-Trend Marketing. He built Agri-Trend Marketing over the next six years, before selling it in 2016 and going independent.
In 2017, IntelliFARM Inc. was launched, and serves as a culmination of nine years of working in the market analysis and consulting world. With a passion for analyzing grain markets and their relation to producers, Brian is excited to be part of the industry to continue helping farmers improved their bottom line through strategic marketing decisions, and he is committed to helping farmers make informed and strategic decisions by taking the emotion out of grain marketing.
