It isn't the farm that makes the farmer.
It's the passion, hard work, and character.
Farming is not just a business.
It's a way of life we've carried for seven generations.
Small steps create big tomorrows.
One season, one seed, one generation at a time.

What We Stand For
A way of life,
rooted in the land.
Heritage
Seven generations on the same land since John and Mary Riechers bought 80 acres across from Union Church in 1847.
Stewardship
Corn, soybeans, and careful attention to the soil that's fed our family, and our community, for over a century and a half.
Family
Ron and Ryan farm together today, with Ryan and Julie raising the seventh generation right here in Lamont.
Come see where the roots run deep.
We're just outside Lamont, Iowa. Say hello, we're always happy to talk about the farm, the family, or the fields.
