  • Ag Queen Podcast | Episode 107 | Mark Twenhafel | Midwest Ag Risk Kontrol
    Jul 22 2026
    Mark Twenhafel, owner of Midwest Ag Risk Kontrol, discussed his company's fire control product, Firebull. His farm, established in 1910, inspired him to seek a better fire extinguisher after experiencing ineffective traditional methods. He discovered Firebull, which attacks fire by cooling it, creating a protective coating, and preventing burnback. Firebull mixes with water to create foam, magnifying its effectiveness. A 3% mix handles most farm fires, while a 6% mix tackles magnesium and metals. The Air Three system, which produces 60 gallons of foam from 3 gallons of liquid, enhances reach and efficiency. Twinhoffel emphasized the importance of quick fire response to prevent significant damage.Visit Mark here: (1) Facebook
