Meet The Kleinschmidt Family

It's hard to not get hooked on what's great about farming: time spent outside in nature, being your own boss and to some degree setting your own hours. But you’re also the one on the hook for keeping the farm going. That’s been a constant for generations of Kleinschmidts. One thing that has changed is the role of technology on our farm. Precision tools help us to farm more cost effectively, and conservation practices like strip- and no-tilling and using cover crops help us farm in a way that will sustain our farm for generations to come.

Some years can go smoothly. Others, not so much. But you can’t beat working with family and the next generation.

Previous generations of farmers would be amazed by advances in seeds that thrive in adverse weather and GPS-guided precision planting and harvesting equipment.
