Agriculture Video Production in Kansas City

We shoot agriculture in and around Kansas City — equipment, operations, grower stories, and the brand films ag companies use to sell to people who can tell when you have never been on a farm. Pricing starts at $2,000 and every number is published on this page.

Ag buyers can tell in four seconds

Agriculture is the least forgiving audience in marketing, because everybody watching does the job for a living. A gate hung wrong, a tractor working in a gear nobody would use, a stand that would never come up in that soil — none of it gets past them. And the moment one detail is wrong, nothing else in the video lands either, because the viewer has quietly decided you are describing a farm you have only seen in photographs.

Most ag video fails on exactly that. It gets shot by a crew that is genuinely good at commercials and has never stood in a field in March. Golden hour, a slow push on a combine, a voiceover about heritage and legacy. It is beautiful, it is completely from the outside, and a farmer watching it knows within four seconds that nobody holding a camera has ever pulled a calf or fixed a baler in the dark.

The fix is not a bigger budget or a better drone. It is knowing what the work actually looks like, so you shoot the part that matters and leave out the part that reads as a stock photo.

We actually farm

This is the part most production companies cannot say. We run livestock ourselves on a small place south of Kansas City. Nobody has to explain to us why you are not moving cattle at noon in August, why the shot list has to bend around weather and not the other way around, or what a bad-looking hoof means. You get a crew that already speaks the language and does not need a day of education before it is useful — and, just as importantly, a crew that will tell you when a shot you asked for is going to make you look green to your own customers.

What we make for agriculture

Equipment and product films

Machinery working, shot the way an operator looks at it. Close on the linkage, the cut, the flow, the cab. Equipment video is the one category where the buyer wants detail more than mood, and most of it is shot as if the opposite were true.

Grower and operator stories

A farmer explaining, in their own words, why they run what they run. This is the most persuasive thing an ag brand can put in front of another farmer, and it is worth doing properly rather than as a testimonial read off a card.

Brand films for ag companies

Seed, inputs, equipment dealers, co-ops, processors, ag tech. The film that explains what you do and why it exists, for buyers, for retiring dealers, for investors, for hiring.

Trade show and field day coverage

Commodity Classic, Farm Progress, dealer meetings, field days. Shot on site and cut fast enough to be useful while people still remember being there.

Recruiting

Ag labor is as hard a problem as restaurant staffing and almost nobody makes video for it. Sixty seconds of what the job actually is beats a listing.

How we work on an operation

This part matters more than the creative, because a shoot that costs you a day of work has cost you more than the video is worth.

• Weather moves the day, not the shot list. We build the schedule assuming it will change and we do not ask you to stop work so we can get a frame.
• We work around the work. If the window is chores at five and again at dusk, that is the window. We are not going to hold up a planting day.
• Biosecurity is not an inconvenience. Clean boots, clean tires, we go where you tell us and nowhere else, and we will follow whatever your protocol is without being reminded.
• Aerial when it earns its place. We are FAA Part 107 certified and we fly when the scale of the thing is the point — acreage, a herd, a field pattern. Not as an opener on every video.
• Small footprint. Two people. The same two, every shoot.

What you get

• A crew of two — the same two, every time.
• Licensed music, color, sound mix and captions.
• Vertical cuts for social, a longer piece for the website and dealer meetings, and stills pulled from the same shoot.
• Unlimited revisions. We work until you are happy, not until the hours run out.

What it costs

These are the published prices. They are the same whether you call in January or in October.

• The Short — $2,000. A day on the operation cut to music with text on top. No interviews. Right for equipment in motion, a field day, or a first piece for social.
• Story Film — $4,500. The above plus an interview — the grower, the operator, the founder — cut into a single polished film with shorter versions alongside it.
• Brand Package — $10,000. Multiple scenes across a shoot day or two: a hero film, a run of shorts, aerial, and stills. Right for an equipment launch, a co-op, or a company that needs a year of content out of one trip.

Full pricing for everything we make is on our video production cost page. If the piece you need is a trade show recap, our event video page covers that side.

Work we have made

We have shot three films for KIOTI Tractor, including two documentary pieces that follow the families running the machines rather than the machines themselves. We covered Commodity Classic 2025 on the floor. We made the brand film for EnviroFlight, an insect-protein operation, and a documentary for the Energy Foundation on Grass Grazed Farms about rotational grazing. We have also worked with Sankofa Farms and L&M Companies on the produce side.

Ask on the call and we will walk you through any of it — what we shot, how long it took, and what we would do differently on your place.

How it works

1. A call. Thirty minutes. You tell us what the piece is for and who has to believe it, and we tell you which package fits and what it costs.
2. A plan built around your calendar. Planting, calving, harvest, a show date. We fit the shoot to the operation.
3. The shoot. One day, usually. We stay out of the way.
4. The cut. First versions back within a couple of weeks. You give notes. We revise until it is right.

Where we shoot

We film across the metro every week — Kansas City, Overland Park, Lee's Summit, Liberty and everywhere between, with no travel charge inside the metro. Farms are outside the metro by definition, and we go out to them regularly across Missouri and Kansas — we will quote the travel honestly on the call rather than hiding it in the rate.
