About Us

Farming is our Passion

Brothers Mike (left) and Eric (right) Johnson have had a love of all things agriculture since the day they were born. Today, the two are more passionate than ever about growing their operation and helping others to do the same. Sustainability and profitability are why they do what they do. They want to provide future generations the opportunity to farm and strive to leave the farm in better condition than when received. If you hope to do the same, let Mike and Eric help you to reach your agricultural goals.

Growing is our Business

It is obvious that Mike and Eric have a passion for growing crops and livestock. The brothers knew from day one that they would need to grow their business in order to make coming home to farm a viable option for the two of them. They are firm believers that if they stick to the principles of honesty and integrity, work to improve every aspect of their operation every year, and continue to foster old and new relationships, they will succeed. Let them help you grow your business.
