We both grew up on farms and lived only five or six miles from each other. We never considered doing anything else.

We want to grow our operation for our children. We’re really building our future for our sons and our daughter.

We love the independence of being our own bosses, being outdoors and seeing what we’ve accomplished over the years.

We like the way they do business – they give us a line of credit and let us farm. Their interest rates are attractive and we’ve gotten some pretty nice cash-back dividend checks. They are not only our lenders, though. They’ve become friends.
