Greenview Farms currently consists of 11,955 cash rented acres and 1,526 custom farmed acres. Approximately 50% of our acres are corn and 50% are soybeans. Our farm consists of two profit centers: corn and soybeans. The custom farming is also corn and soybeans, which allows us to lower our per acre equipment cost. We currently farm land in the Iowa counties of Clinton, Cedar, Jackson, Jones, Linn,
Muscatine and Scott. We rent land from 70 owners. The business is a family owned general partnership. Kevin and Lori have included their adult children Katie and Adam, and Kevin's brother Keith in the partnership. Kevin handles strategic planning, financial management, and marketing. Keith oversees agriculture technology and the custom seed production. Mike Flammang is our shop foreman and machinery specialist. Duane Gannon is a key employee that assists in various field operations including planting and harvesting. Amanda Willimack manages the office operations, human resources, and communications. Additional seasonal help is hired as needed. We have an office in DeWitt and a farm shop headquarters located west of Grand Mound. Everyone helps in the fields during planting and harvesting seasons. Our farm utilizes the latest technology in production agriculture. We operate a complete line of modern large machinery. This includes a 36-row corn planter and two 24-row split row planters and three combines with 12-row corn heads and 40-foot soybean draper heads. All of our tractors and combines use R.T.K. auto-steer and record their activities including seed variety, planting population, and harvested yield on a real-time site specific map. grid test all of our fields, and we variable-rate apply fertilizer, lime and seed. We utilize the John Deere operations website to assist in managing our fields and equipment from an iPad on the go or a computer in the office. Our farm remains a leader in production agriculture. In 1996 our farm was named the Best Managed Farm in the United States by Farm Futures magazine. In 2004 we received the second place “Top Producer of the Year” award presented by Top Producer magazine and Farm Journal media. We maintain a competitive edge and plan for sustained profitable growth.
