Genesis Growers Land Expansion

Donation protected
An opportunity to purchase the farm land adjacent to me on the east has presented itself. This land would make a wonderful addition to the farm, providing us with much needed growing space. It is not something I would have initiated on my own this year due to the financially bad year in 2015, but it presented itself to me and it is not something I want to pass up if I can manage to swing it. The acquisition of this land would work so well because it is adjacent. I would be able to simply "stretch out" to the east with a new boundary farther east.

The advantages are many. There will be no travel time between fields and all my current equipment will be able to handle the field tasks. My well and pump are on the property line and that would save on the need to purchase a second irrigation pump or drilling of a well - both of which cost a great deal of money. So, the infrastructure is in place already - a huge bonus.

We have worked hard to be able to purchase land. Over the years I saved toward a down payment for land, but with the floods last year I had to dip into my savings just to survive.

The acquisition of land will do so much to help us be even better farmers. It will:
1) allow us a better crop rotation
2) provide the space for sequential plantings
3) allow us to expand production of some crops
4) allow us to grow some new items we often run out of space to grow
5) move more land into sustainable, chemical free growing space
​6) Give us an additional storage space for tractors and crops​
