A Little Bit About Me.

I’m, Justin Rahn from Mt. Carroll, Illinois. Which is in the northwestern tip of Illinois. I went to Kirkwood in Cedar Rapids, IA for a Associates degree in Ag. Production Mang. With a lot of other classes in GPS and Ag. Business. Between my 1st and 2nd year my internship was completed at Jensen Farms in Ankeny IA. From May 25th until Sept. 20th we cut wheat from southern Kansas up to southern North Dakota. I returned to the family farm in March of 2006. Ever since I have been farming with the family, which includes my grandfather and grandmother, mom and dad, and me. I am the oldest of 3 brothers and 1 sister. Our large family farm is quite diversified with row crop corn and soybeans, hay, beef cows, and fed cattle. I sell Crow’s Seed with my brother, and we sell a lot of small square bales of hay and straw yearly. I really enjoy the farm, I believe that you have to enjoy and love to farm, otherwise its just a hobby. Some days there is a lot of stress that comes with it, markets, weather, etc. but I look at it this way, I just keep waking up every morning unemployed, and eager to work. Well enjoy the page, I went to the 1st annual Farmers for the Future Conference in St. Louis, and had a blast, met a lot of young farmers and did a lot of networking, so that’s how I learned about this site. Enjoy……

Are you getting the crop in or is it too wet?

Justin,
Well things are good, the soil is in great shape and the new planter is working very well. We only have about 200 acres in right now, but we are not in that big of hurry because wind has been preventing us from spraying. Well anyway hope that you get all finished up soon. The wheat looks very good here, hope that we get some nice rains in a week or so to help the corn and wheat along.
