106 Kyler and Morgan McCommas: Entrepreneurship and Ranching

Written By Jonathon Haralson

A husband and wife team starting their operation, evolving the direction for MCC, balancing MCC with two full-time corporate jobs and then opening their own Commercial General Contracting construction company, figuring out their niche in the industry, and building repeat clients. Drought, herd dispersal, rebuilding and refocusing our brand.

In this episode we discuss:

  • Always wanting to become an entrepreneur even in the corporate industry, and navigating how to make that happen. 

  • What it’s like working with your spouse and the balance of work and family. 

  • Open communication with your spouse when working together or it will not work. 

  • Learning something completely new and making a full functioning business out of it. 

  • Navigating all the curve-balls that come your way. 

Jonathon Haralson

Jonathon Haralson, a sixth generation farmer by heritage, and he started farming his own operation from scratch in 2009.

Growing up, Jonathon’s family raised cattle, wheat, hay, and grew pecans. He grew up, alongside his brother, watching his Grandfather and Dad work from sun-up to sun-down on the family farm and grow yard. As time passed by, the market volatility became greater and the banking stress became greater, and Jonathon witnessed the fall of his family’s farming operation when he was just a child. He saw his dreams of continuing to build his family’s farming empire disappear as he watched his family’s equity and land auctioned off piece by piece. It’s something Jonathon never wanted to see happen to another family.

By the grace of God, Jonathon now educates farmers and ranchers about commodities, so they can spend more time out in the field and with their families.
