Miller Family Farm
We grow corn and soybeans on 900 acres in northeast Iowa and keep a small herd of beef cattle.
Since 2018 we plant cover crops on every field to protect the soil over winter.
A normal day starts early. Before breakfast we walk around the yard, check the animals and the weather, and decide what needs doing first.
The seasons set the pace here. Spring is for sowing and young animals, summer for long days in the field, and autumn for bringing everything in before the rain.
We try to improve one thing every year. Sometimes that is a new machine, but more often it is something small that saves us time or makes the work easier.
Was bedeutet es für Sie, Landwirt zu sein?
Being a farmer means being responsible for living things every day of the year. The animals and the land do not know a day off, and we would not want it any other way.
Worauf sind Sie auf Ihrem Hof besonders stolz?
Our cover crops. Rye and clover keep the soil in place and feed it at the same time. It took a few seasons to get right, but we would not go back.
Was macht Ihnen an Ihrer Arbeit am meisten Freude?
Watching the kids show their calves at the county fair with the 4-H club. It teaches them more than any classroom could.
