TJ began his career in Agriculture back on his family's farm in Eastern Kansas. He drove his first rake at age 4, he became to mower guy for all their family's hay at age 8, and the main baler operator when he started HS.  From then... there have been many turns, but his passion for excellence and his ability to create & cultivate is unchanged.

​

TJ met Rebekah while working cattle and the two have been working side by side ever since. Contrary to what you might think, the machinery hasn't always been big and the business hasn't always been successful.

In 2008, they moved from Kansas to Texas to step into a partnership that would fund their next chapter. So Texas Hay Balers was born. As the years went on, they became the proud parents of Charlotte, Elizabeth, Edythe, Abigail, Titus, & Matthias. In 2011-12, they had a bumper year, baling more than 100,000 3x4x8 cornstock bales. Then in 2017, the partner decided to get out of the business and all the machinery was sold. With established hay contracts waiting to be filled and one JD4950 to their name, Steele Ag Innovations was born. ​​​
