Smith Farms
Smith Farms
My wife Melissa and I live on her family farm in God's Country (Mills County, IA). We were both born and raised on diversified family farms. My father-in-law farms 1100 acres of corn and soybeans while my dad and I farm 1400 acres of corn and soybeans. We are a typical diversified farm with corn, soybeans, hay, and beef cows. We have 80 head of Angus cross cows.......I love the cow/calf business. I am a 6th generation farmer on Smith Farms. I am sure it is the same as many of you......will do whatever it takes maintain and continue the fantastic family tradition.
I graduated from Iowa State in the spring of 2005 and was lucky enough to move back to my stomping grounds. I work full time off the farm in Sales for New Balance Commodities. I recently transitioned out of the seed industry and into the livestock industry which is a true passion of mine. If you are a livestock producer and would like to learn more about products offered by NBC, don't hesitate to be in touch! We have the opportunity to be of service all across the corn belt! I love my job, and I love the farm.
My wife works in Council Bluffs in administration for Wings USA, Inc.

February 1st
1st - I began the morning with a customer near Emerson. He has been buying modified distillers for his cows and was interested in learning more about our Commodity Mix. We had a good visit and I hope for his business when he decides to make a decision. I stopped in Red Oak on my way to the office and grabbed some stamps at the post office and cashed in a savings bond that my Great Grandma Strong had bought for me when I was born in 1982. It was a $50 bond and I cashed in a whopping $98.48. Hell… Continue

January 29th - January 31st
Friday 29th – I left for St. Joe early. St. Joe is a much quicker trip than I thought. It only took me 2 hours. Needless to say I thought I was there in plenty of time to set up…..if I was a day early. Evidently all the vendors came in on Thursday and set up. It wasn’t that big of a deal….our display takes five minutes to set up. Justin and I set up and had a successful day at the show. I had the opportunity to meet several producers from NW Missouri that could potentially use our commodity mix.… Continue

January 27th - 28th
Wednesday 27th – My day began with my laptop open at home. I moved some feed to a new customer in Sheridan, Missouri and got his load lined up for tomorrow. I planned on spending the day with our nutritionist. He text early this morning and said the battery was dead on his vehicle. Needless to say we didn’t get together as early as anticipated, but finally met in Treynor mid-morning. While waiting for Steve I went and drove through a barnyard of a gentleman having a farm sale on Saturday. He had… Continue

Ran a dairy in Shelby Co., KY for years and this guy up north called one day and asked for my help. He made a good enough offer we moved our cows and equipment to just south of Chicago. Last year milk went to $9.00 and he placed a bid for the CWT buyout and was accepted. A new grand baby in Kentucky was reason enough nto move back. This farm is family owned with the third generation son being the boss. He has too much on his plate and instead of giving up anything he got more help. My job is to run the dairy with his and my cows.
We are as well as we can be, expecting 6" of for tomorrow. Take care.
