On this episode of The Plant Movement Podcast, we dive deep into the story behind one of the most trusted names in ag equipment, Chemical Containers, Inc. Meet Sid, the national sales rep with over 20 years of hands-on experience, who’s been part of the company since he was just 15. More than just a business, Chemical Containers is a faith-driven, family-operated company that’s been serving the industry for nearly 40 years.

We explore everything from the company’s humble beginnings to its cutting-edge custom sprayers, boom systems, injection pumps, automated tech, and even drone alternatives.
