Tucker Brown is active in his family's operation, R.A. Brown Ranch and serves on the Leadership Development Committee for Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raiser's Association, as a sixth-generation cattle rancher.

As a "farm gates always open" type of person, Brown said he doesn't hesitate to answer hard questions about the beef industry and loves showcasing their West Texas multi-generational ranch.

"Our goal is if we can help consumers understand where their food comes from, they will have a deeper sense of trust," said Brown. "Having people come to the ranch and ask questions helps us move forward and do better."

As a modern-day influencer, Brown has a knack for creating intriguing and approachable social media content that bridges the gap between consumers and producers, reaching millions of viewers. With more than 245,000 followers on TikTok and 138,000 followers on Instagram, Brown receives, on average, a combined 5-6 million views per month on his videos and uses his influence to show what it's like to raise beef.

"I like to use a word I call ‘edutainment' which means entertaining viewers so much they didn't realize they learned something until after the video is over," said Brown. "There's so many of us that post about the beef industry, so finding ways to keep viewers watching has been the most fun for me as an advocate."

Brown said along with sharing beef facts and ranching stories, his passion goes beyond simply reaching consumers. He also strives to get more youth involved in the industry. As a graduate of the Masters of Beef Advocacy program and member of the 2023 class of NCBA Trailblazers, a continuing education and development program for industry advocates, Brown emphasized the importance of development programs like these in identifying and preparing the next generation.

"I think it's important to tell our story, but I think much of the industry hasn't been trained on how to do that," said Brown. "With these recent programs it's been easier to get more young people involved and teach them how to be an advocate of truth in a way where more people are willing to listen."
