Sustainable Practices
Sustainability is one of the core values that the Flinchbaugh family practices in the operation of our business. We believe in the importance of preserving and building the soil so that it is there for future generations. We believe in protecting the quality of both the streams that run by our fields and the groundwater that lies under them, and we believe in the prudent use of resources such as fuel and fertilizer. We meet these goals in our grain production business through the use of the following practices:
Soil conservation plans and manure management plans:
- Crop rotation
- Contour planting
- No-till farming
- Grass waterways and diversions
- Stream side buffers
- Cover crops
- Nutrient application based on soil and tissue testing
- GPS yield monitoring and mapping
- GPS aided nutrient application
- Integrated pest management
We utilize these practices not just on the land we own, but on the land we rent as well. We strive to maintain and build the quality and productivity of the land of our landowner partners as if it were our own. Here we explain in further detail for Flinchbaugh Farms – How We Grow.
