The Runde Family Farm has used meticulously managed organic farming practices since 2000. This farm has been 100% USDA-certified organic since 2003. The Runde Family Farm has been free of synthetic chemical inputs such as synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and genetically modified (GMO) seeds for over twenty years (beginning in 2000), three years prior to receiving Global Organic Alliance, Inc. organic certification. The Runde Family Farm has utilized natural processes and materials that contribute to soil health, pest and weed management, and conservation of biological diversity, ensuring organic integrity and long-term sustainability. Cover crops have also been implemented to improve soil health, control erosion, improve water infiltration, and manage nutrients. The contours and terracing on this farm are a soil conservation practice applied to prevent rainfall runoff and soil erosion, allowing the water to soak into the soil instead.
These high-quality farmland tracts are located in a strong farming community. They would make for a great add-on tract to an existing farming operation or an investment for the buyer looking to diversify their portfolio or hedge inflation. There are several grain marketing outlets located nearby, including grain elevators and ethanol plants that can be accessed by both county and state paved highways. The farm lease will be open for the 2024 cropping season.
