What is it like working with family?
During the busy seasons, time management can be difficult and sometimes you need to make sacrifices, like spending less quality time with your family. However, it also means that your family can work closely with you, and you can get through the busy seasons together.
What does a typical day look like?
Every day is different. In the growing season, we’re constantly scouting fields to assess their health. We do equipment maintenance to make sure work can get done in a timely manner. We also look at daily market activity to take advantage of any pricing opportunities that arise.

How do you feel about your role in nourishing America?
Feeding the country is the reason we farm. I always feel a sense of pride knowing that my wheat is going into a consumer product. Since our business began with the farming our ancestors did, I feel a great responsibility to pass that heritage down to future generations.
