Mariah Creek Farms

Mariah Creek Farms Grain & tree farm in Knox County, Indiana Our over 350 tillable acres are primarily farmed for the grains of corn and soybeans. Wildlife abounds.

Mariah Creek Farms is situated on 300 upland acres (Mariah Hill Farm) and 615 bottomland acres (Mariah Pond Farm) in the lower Wabash River valley of southwestern Indiana. Winter wheat can at times be found growing on our upland acres. Woodlands primarily cover the remainder of our upland acres in a classified forest. Oak, maple, walnut, wild cherry, American beech, ash, and tulip trees are specie

s for which we have cut timber in the past. A planting of walnut trees in former pasturelands should provide future timber for fine veneers. And there are, of course, mushrooms in the spring. Deer have been longtime residents; and wild turkeys have been enlarging their numbers. In some recent winters juvenile flocks of over 50 individuals have been seen. The remainder of the bottomlands is in forest, wetlands and ponds. The forests primarily produce soft woods such as silver maple and cottonwood; however, the occasional swamp white oak and even pecan may be found. Various species of willow are a major source of winter browse for deer. Backwater wetlands vary from shallow pools to deeper river washouts and help to support a variety of wildlife. Mariah Pond is a thirty acre oxbow lake known for its production of bluegill, crappie and catfish. In the fall and early winter the pond becomes a minor stopover on the central flyway for waterfowl. A final note: Google Earth and other land indexing programs (and I guess the USGS) generally use the name Maria for the creek and the pond. The original French name for the creek was Marié meaning 'gotten married.' But long-time locals have and always will refer to them in the Anglicanized form, Mariah.

Crazy idea, but it keeps the ditches clean and the weeds and trees down.

When asked what the biggest benefit from enrolling in NWQI was, Keusch responded "The history of this farm is vast and my dad was a firm believer in leaving something better than the way it was when you found it. Seeing the ground continue to improve year after year with more organic matter and less erosion is rewarding. If I continue with that mind-set, I hope my son or my daughter will eventually take over and be the sixth generation on the farm.”

As a fifth-generation farmer, Joe Keusch knows a thing or two about his land. And, his 110-year-old farm located in the Ell Creek Watershed is a little different than most in Indiana.

Possible?? POSSIBLE? Not in my lifetime.

While analysts say it’s possible, yet not likely corn prices hit $18 per bushel, there are some factors fueling the market today. It’s not just the supply and demand scenario, but also the possibility of inflation.
