In a remarkable fusion of agriculture and music, Big Time Grain Co. is gearing up for their highly anticipated summer tour, aptly named the "2023 Farm Fuel Tour." Founded by brothers Chad and Brett Borkman, this country music band has been captivating audiences for the past 12 years with their heartfelt tunes and energetic performances.

Growing up on a farm, the Borkman brothers' connection to the agricultural world runs deep. Their roots in farming have shaped their passion for country music, which they describe as a natural fit. Infused with a touch of rock, their music resonates with audiences far and wide, blending catchy melodies with powerful lyrics.

What sets Big Time Grain Co. apart is their commitment to sustainability and environmental consciousness. Partnering with the Iowa Soybean Association and the Iowa Biodiesel Board, the band travels across the nation, powered by biodiesel. This unique collaboration highlights the importance of renewable energy sources, particularly biodiesel, in fueling not only their music but also the agricultural community they hold dear.

For Chad and Brett, the Farm Fuel Tour represents more than just a series of performances; it's a celebration of their upbringing and a chance to connect with rural America. The tour brings them back to their farming roots, as they actively engage with farmers, embracing the sense of community that defines rural life.
