ABOUT
Doug C Brunner
Owner
Growing up as a dairyman, I knew very little about farming. My curiosity led me to learn more and essentially started my first company, DCB Farming. Little did I know farming was to lay the foundation of my future and the cornerstone of what has become The Ag Center.
Starting my own business was not easy. It took leaning on my family values, a lot of resources and trial and error (to say the least). I was fortunate to be raised with a history of family experience in the agricultural industry and attribute my early successes to the strong mentors in my life: my father who taught me the values of hard work; a grandfather who was a pioneer of his time and my father in-law, who is exceptionally creative and has a futuristic mindset that built an empire. The start-up experience of DCB Farming shifted my whole perspective on how to do business and who to grow businesses with.

Lexi Lanfranco
Office Manager
Lexi grew up in the small town of Kerman, CA. She grew up learning how important it was to have a strong work ethic from a young age. Throughout the years she could be found helping her dad farm or working at one of the family businesses in downtown Kerman. She attended California State University, Fresno majoring in Agricultural Business. She knew she wanted to continue to stay deeply rooted in the Ag community and became part of the Ag Center team just a few months after graduation. When she is not working in the DCB office or alongside her family, she enjoys traveling to new places near and far.
