Erhard
Erhard is a small village in the western Otter Tail farm country, a quiet Norwegian-heritage community surrounded by working farmland with a base of agriculture, trades, and service businesses. Its farm country and heritage anchor a quiet west-central Minnesota economy. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms (custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing) for the Erhard area's agriculture, trades, and service businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania, distance is no barrier, and we add on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
Do you work with businesses in Erhard, Minnesota?
Yes, remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, and being a western Otter Tail farm village is no obstacle: nearly all of our work is done remotely, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. An Erhard client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.
Does working remotely mean slower support for an Erhard business?
No, remote-first is how we work everywhere, and for a rural community like Erhard it means the same fast response as anywhere, without waiting on someone to drive up.
What would you build for an Erhard agriculture, trades, or service business?
Usually a recordkeeping, scheduling, customer, or billing platform built around how your operation runs, so an Erhard business works from one system instead of a paper calendar and disconnected apps.

In intake, scheduling, recordkeeping, customer email, and follow-up, so an Erhard business gets real leverage through the farm season without adding headcount.

Managed EDR, MFA, immutable backups, phishing filtering, and a written recovery plan, plus secure payment handling if you take card payments. We set it up and manage it for you.
What does a custom platform cost an Erhard business?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what your Erhard operation actually needs and phase it so value lands early.
