Pridie Farm

Robert raises organic beef on organic pastures and also farms 600 acres of corn and soybeans with his father. Most of his cropped acres are under minimum tillage which he defines as one-pass field cultivation prior to planting. Although Robert has farmed for 30 years, he has only been certified organic within the last five years. In switching to organic, the greatest challenge was figuring out his income during the three years of transition.
