Shownotes

For farmer and community leader Tienie Prinsloo (36), agriculture is more than a livelihood. 

After 15 years of farming alongside his father, he has built a thriving operation that includes pecan orchards, a Beefmaster stud, and sugar beans. His passion for pecans shines through as he expands his orchards with thousands of new trees each year, aiming for an ambitious 40,000 trees in the future.


But Tienie’s story goes beyond the farm. As chairman of the Hoopstad Agricultural Society, a member of Grain SA, and director of the Hoopstad Sport Academy, he is deeply committed to uplifting his community and walking the extra mile to make a difference.


In this episode, Tienie shares his journey, his vision for growth, and the heart behind his desire to leave a lasting impact on both agriculture and his community.
