Young Farmer Program

Our Young Farmer program started with an application and a business plan. We accepted a young man - Lewis, then began a search for five acres to lease, this took a few months even before we had the annual budget to star the program. Some beans were planted and harvested and then the maize (corn to this Iowa farm boy). The land was prepared and the seed planted - by hand! The rains came and Lewis was out in the field creating small canals for the water to runoff.. Now see below….looking for a good harvest this Fall.
