Wes Barlow grew up on a Nebraska cattle ranch and now writes about agriculture, logistics, and rural business from Omaha. After earning an agribusiness degree from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, he worked in commodity merchandising and later managed a regional trucking terminal. That dual background in farming and freight gives his Silver Journal articles a panoramic view of supply chains from soil to store shelf. Wes covers farm management software, transportation regulations, and the economic pressures reshaping rural communities with a straight-talking, no-nonsense voice. He still helps his family with calving season and serves on the board of a local FFA alumni chapter. Wes believes that the stories of working rural America deserve as much ink as any Silicon Valley IPO.
