Our family’s agricultural heritage can be traced back to the early 1900’s. Since that time, the faces of our farming operation have changed, but our core values have not changed.
•We strive to produce the best crops in the area.
•We deal honestly and fairly with our retailers, sales professionals, landlords, neighbors and employees.
•We market and sell our products vigorously, but with moderation
and market evaluation.
•We offer helpful management suggestions to our landlords to assist them in making the greatest possible profit from their land.

Our farming operation today focuses on SIX key aspects:
TECHNOLOGY: From the guidance systems on the machinery to the seeds we plant that contain new innovative traits and custom Variable Seeding Rate technology allows us to generate higher returns per acre. EXPERIENCE: The partners in our business span two generations, giving us over 60 years of commercial production agriculture experience and dedication as well as seed production for a well known supplier. LOCATION: Central Illinois is home to some of the best and largest grain markets in the world and Archer Daniels Midland Company; the world’s largest producer of corn bi-products is just minutes from our base of operations. Our location is also minutes from Tate&Lyle; a large corn processing facility. RELATIONSHIPS: We believe that our landowners deserve more than just a check in the mail when partnering with us. Items such as planting maps, yield maps and soil sample results are just a few of the items a landowner can expect when working with us. We strive to make the landlord feel like part of the family as we believe communication is the key to any relationship success. STEWARDSHIP OF THE LAND: Essentially, we believe in treating our rented land the same as the land we own. We focus on today’s conservation and rotational practices to ensure that your property investment is worth as much or more in the future as it was when you partnered with us. ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT: We are continuously in search of ways to grow and expand our operation and are always interested in acquiring new land in all directions from our base of operations. We are currently expanding into an excavation endeavor that has been highly sought after
