Our Heritage
At Ksfarms in northeast Kansas, we embody a century-long legacy of farming, deeply rooted in the fertile soils of this region. Our journey traces back over 100 years to when David's great-grandfather first settled here, initiating a steadfast tradition of farming that has been passionately upheld by each generation since. Today, David and his family continue this enduring legacy, artfully blending time-honored farming values with contemporary innovation.
Our bond with the land extends beyond professional commitment; it is a fundamental aspect of our family's identity. Generations of our family have woven a rich tapestry of agricultural history, fostering a deep respect for sustainable farming practices. We proudly honor our ancestors' wisdom while adopting modern techniques, focusing on environmental sustainability and efficiency in our cultivation of crops. Farming for us is not merely an occupation; it is a treasured heritage and a rhythm that has shaped our family's way of life for over a century.
As stewards of this land, we have witnessed and adapted to many changes in farming techniques and technologies. Our commitment to no-till farming, initiated in 2000, is a testament to our dedication to sustainable and efficient agriculture. Utilizing state-of-the-art John Deere equipment, including RTK autosteer and variable rate applicators, we have optimized our farming operations, reducing waste and preserving the health of our soil.
Manufacturing
David's journey in equipment manufacturing is a narrative of necessity breeding innovation. With his expertise in planters dating back to 1985, the creation of KsFarms as an equipment manufacturer emerged from a personal need. Unable to find a suitable 2-row planter for his garden, David's resourcefulness led him to modify an older 6-row planter, thereby uncovering a niche market. KsFarms now specializes in custom-building plot planters, catering to diverse agricultural needs across the country.
