Evelyn Brandt Thomas, co-founder of Brandt, a leading retailer of professional agronomic services and manufacturer of specialty input products, recently celebrated her 100th birthday.
Through the past century, Evelyn Brandt Thomas has not only witnessed the evolution of farming practices but actively participated in them. Her connection with the land began at an early age on the family farm where her father farmed using horses. Over the years, she has embraced innovations while never losing sight of the fundamental values that shape the agricultural landscape.
“I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to witness firsthand the many evolutions in agriculture and other industries. It’s truly remarkable the advancements in the last 100 years,” said Brandt Thomas. “Working in agriculture isn’t just a profession; it’s a way of life that keeps you engaged, learning and growing.”
As she looks back on a century of memories, challenges, and achievements, the company says Evelyn remains a living embodiment of the profound connection between human health and the land. Her 100th birthday is a celebration not only of her life but also of the enduring importance of being involved, being present and giving back.
In the Brandt company celebration for Evelyn, leaders highlight how her legacy reminds us that dedication to a purpose greater than oneself can lead to a life of fulfillment and longevity.
