Young entrepreneur on Delmarva raking in big bucks by selling watermelons

Ask a farmer and they'll tell you they are struggling more and more each year to get the younger generations to buy in and stay in agriculture.

However one family on Delmarva doesn't have that problem.

Brant Catlin is not your average entrepreneur and farmer. He's just 7-years-old. Brant made the most of his summer vacation by raking in some big bucks.

He wanted his own watermelon patch and Brant has been there from the very beginning, planting the seeds to his foundation. 

Brant's father, Brandon says, "Brant started from day one. He's out there in the tractor with us working up the land tilling the land and then we start spreading the fertilizer, laying the plastic, this black plastic mulch that you see on the fields."

During the summer months, Brant takes his watermelons to the Laurel Auction Block every single day.

This summer alone, he's raised over $4,000, selling watermelons for $3 a piece, $100 a bin.

But the sweetest outcome of all is that every single dollar earned will go towards his future.

Brant says he wants to go to college and become a farmer.

Until then he's doing what he truly loves to do.

Brant will be at the Laurel Auction until September 15th, 2017.
