Steve and his family have a corn and soybean farm in southeast Iowa, alongside a 1500 pig finish operation. Steve’s father had a strong conservation ethic, and began implementing no-till on the land in the 1970s. It was a natural progression to begin putting in cereal rye.

He still views himself in a process of getting better, even with all that experience. Through involvement with the Soil Health Partnership, he enjoys learning from and helping other farmers take steps in their own journey to build soil health on their farms for future generations.
