Success Story: Legacy Irrigation

Success Story: Legacy Irrigation

Dustin Frost has been part of the Wyoming SBDC Network partner circle for many years as the director of the Big Sky Veteran’s Outreach Center but he has recently made the jump from business resource network partner to a Wyoming SBDC Network client with his newest venture, Legacy Irrigation and Construction Supply. Frost and his partner Kevin Beagle purchased Legacy Irrigation of Sheridan, WY in early 2023.

Partnership Background

Frost and Beagle are natural business partners. They both come from a background of military service and small business experience. In addition to these similarities, they share a common goal of doing good for their communities and country as well as a strong desire to guide and serve other Veterans and their spouses as they navigate the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

‘Before purchasing Legacy Irrigation, we were helping veterans transition, we were helping veterans start small businesses and we both decided that we definitely had that bug of entrepreneurship that was still alive and kicking within us so we decided to partner up and see if we could come together and find a business to purchase’
