Huebner Farms is a third-generation operation. Ryan, Michael, and Wayne run a crop operation and a 185-cow calf cattle operation. On the crop ground, they have implemented minimum tillage and rotate between barley, wheat, corn and soybeans. Other areas they are focusing on within the crop ground is intergrading livestock. 17,510 feet of trees have been established for wind protection, cover crops have been integrated in when available in the rotation, grass has been planted back on marginal acres of land, and a partial manure management system has been put into place. The Huebner’s see the most benefit from the manure management system and having cattle winter feed on crop ground. This reduces the cost of hauling manure out of the feed lots, and the cost of the daily feed. The cows look better because they get exercise by moving around the field and having to walk back to the water tank.
