Content Production for the Agricultural Sector: From UGC to High-Gloss Corporate Films – All from a Single Source

LAEND produces content for agriculture and agribusiness at every quality level: from authentic UGC reels for social media, professional testimonial videos, and image films for trade shows and websites, all the way to high-gloss corporate films. Everything is produced on real farms, with real equipment.

Stock photos of wheat fields and happy farmers won't convince anyone in the agricultural sector. We film on real farms, with real machinery, with real people – because authentic content converts 3x better with this target audience than any studio shot.

Four Quality Levels – One Provider

UGC & Authentic Content

For: Social media ads, Reels, TikTok, organic content. Smartphone-friendly, authentic, fast. UGC content performs exceptionally well in social media algorithms because it looks like real user-generated content – not like advertising. Ideal for Meta Ads, organic reach, and recruiting campaigns.

Typical formats: 15–60 sec. Reels, story content, behind-the-scenes, employee statements. Production time: 1 day | Delivery time: 3–5 business days

Professional Social Content

For: Social media ads, campaigns, organic feed. Professionally produced, yet authentic in feel. On-site cameraman, gimbal, good lighting – yet with a look that suits the platform. This is LAEND's high-volume format.

Typical formats: 30–90 sec. campaign videos, product demos, company presentations, recruiting videos. Production time: 1–2 days | Delivery time: 1–2 weeks

Testimonials & Interviews

For: Website, campaigns, sales materials, trade fairs. Real customers, real statements, real impact. Testimonial videos are the strongest proof of trust an agribusiness company can leverage.

Typical formats: 60–120 sec. customer testimonials, expert interviews, case study videos. Production time: 1 day | Delivery time: 1–2 weeks

Image Film & High-Gloss

For: Website hero sections, trade fairs, investors, annual reports. Cinematic quality. Drone, cinema camera, color grading, professional editing and sound design. Image films position an agribusiness company for the long term.

Typical formats: 2–5 min. corporate film, product film, trade fair clip, year in review. Production time: 2–3 days + post-production | Delivery time: 3–4 weeks

Why content production with LAEND is different

01

Our own farm as a production site

No location scouting, no permits, no rental costs. Our farm in Wriedel is a fully equipped production site: tractor, harvesting machines, stables, fields – all ready for use. For clients, this means: faster production, lower costs, more authentic material.

Typical location costs with other agencies: €500–€2,000 per shooting day. At LAEND: zero.

02

Industry understanding without needing explanations

We know what a Rotoryrider is. We understand the difference between sowing and harvesting seasons. We know why a shooting day in calendar week 28 won't work and why the trade fair film needs to be ready 6 weeks before Agritechnica. No briefing from scratch.

03

Content that flows directly into campaigns

LAEND doesn't just produce content – we also run it as ads. This means: the editing is optimized for performance from the start, the hooks grab attention in the first 2 seconds, and the aspect ratios are correct for 9:16 and 16:9. Production and distribution from a single source.

This is how content production with LAEND works

01

Briefing and Concept

We understand your goal: What should the content achieve? Which target audience? Which channel? This leads to a clear production concept: formats, shooting days, locations, workflow. No briefing marathon – we know the industry.

02

Shoot Preparation

Schedule, shot list, equipment setup, location coordination. If shooting on your farm: we come to you. If you want to use our farm as a production location: no problem.

03

Production

A shooting day with LAEND is efficient: clear processes, no wasted time, multiple formats simultaneously. We know which scenes we need before we arrive. Typically: 3–8 finished videos per shooting day.

04

Post-Production and Approval

Editing, color grading, soundtrack, subtitles, format adaptation (16:9, 9:16, 1:1). One approval round is included. Delivery as a download link and directly in the correct specs.

Plan lead times: UGC and Social Content – 1 week lead time is sufficient. Campaign Videos and Testimonials – 2 weeks lead time. Image Films – 4–6 weeks lead time for optimal results. Trade Show Videos – commission at least 8 weeks before the trade show.

What Content Production Costs for Agribusiness

Transparent guidance instead of hidden packages. Costs depend on format, shooting days, and post-production effort. Here are realistic price ranges:

UGC & Social Reels: from €1,200 / shooting day

Includes: 1 cameraman, gimbal, 3–5 finished edited reels in 9:16. Ideal for ongoing social media content and ad content. Most budget-efficient format.

Campaign Videos: €2,500–€5,000

Includes: 1–2 shooting days, 2-camera setup, professional editing, color grading, music license, 2–3 finished videos. Directly usable for Meta Ads or Google Video Ads.

Testimonials & Recruiting: €2,000–€4,000

Includes: 1 shooting day, interview setup, 2–4 finished testimonials or 1 main recruiting video + short versions. With professional lighting and sound.

Image Film & Corporate Film: €5,000–€15,000

Includes: 2–3 shooting days, cinema camera, drone, professional color grading, soundtrack, voiceover (optional). Ready for website hero sections, trade shows, and investor meetings.

Rule of thumb: A solid content budget for a mid-sized agribusiness company is 1–2 shooting days per quarter – resulting in an annual budget of approx. €8,000–€20,000 for continuous content. For a one-off image film production, budget €5,000–€15,000.

Frequently Asked Questions about Content Production

Do you come to our business or do we need to come to LAEND?

Both are possible. We come to your business – which makes sense for most productions anyway, as your real environment is the most authentic production location. Alternatively, our farm in Wriedel is available as a fully equipped production site.

How many finished videos do we get per shooting day?

That depends on the format. UGC and social reels: 3–8 finished videos. Campaign videos: 2–3 finished versions in different lengths. Corporate film: 1 main film plus 1–2 short versions. We always plan the shooting day to maximize your output.

Can we use the content directly for Meta Ads?

Yes – and that's one of our key advantages. We produce content that is performance-optimized from the start: hooks in the first 2 seconds, correct aspect ratios (9:16 for Stories/Reels, 4:5 for Feed), subtitles for sound-off viewing. No post-processing by another agency.

How far in advance do we need to book?

UGC and social content: 1 week is often enough. Campaign videos and testimonials: 2 weeks. Corporate films: 4–6 weeks. For trade fair productions, we recommend an 8-week lead time so the film is ready on schedule.

Do you also deliver individual photos or only video?

Both. Many of our shooting days combine video and photo production – so after one day, you'll have both campaign videos and 20–40 professional photos for your website, social media, and print materials.
