2026- Braden & Misty Drul- Oakburn

Braden and Misty reside on their family grain farm near Oakburn, MB with their children Adilynn and Clayton, operating a multi-generational grain & oilseed farm.

Farming has been a central part of both their lives, each growing up on family farms in nearby communities they learned the value of hard work, resilience, and dedication.  Misty pursued her career as an X-ray/Lab technologist while Braden earned his Agribusiness degree from the University of Manitoba.  After completing their education, they returned home with a shared vision of working with his parents expanding and strengthening the family farm.  They married in 2016 and began laying the foundation for the next chapter of their family’s farming legacy.

The farming operation wasn’t the only thing expanding with the birth of their first child in 2017.  While growing the business they recognized the importance of diversifying the operation and in 2019 they launched their equipment assembly business, offering supplemental income and employment opportunities for the farm.  With Covid in full swing and the arrival of their second child in 2020, the growing business and family were equally flourishing.  After adapting to the increased pace of life, their pursuit to grow and expand the business once again found them opening a Pioneer seed agency, reflecting their commitment to innovation, diversification, and supporting fellow farmers in their community.

Community involvement remains vital to them. They volunteer their time to local clubs, organizations, and initiatives, believing that strong rural communities are essential to strong farms.

They are grateful for the opportunity’s agriculture has given them and feel privileged to contribute to a farm that has been built through generations of dedication. Their goal is to continue growing the operation with integrity, dedication, and passion ensuring it remains strong for the sixth generation and beyond.
