Grain Operation
Schneider & Schneider Pork Farms produces seed corn, corn and soybeans to be used by end users such as pork, beef and dairy producers and ethanol production. We partner with Monsanto and Pioneer for seed corn production. A large amount of the corn is also used for our own hog operation.
- Sustainability is of utmost importance. We are focused on environmental technology to help improve sustainability.
- Minimum tillage is a key aspect of our farming practices, which helps to protect erosion of Iowa soil to ensure that the land remains highly productive for future generations. These practices also improve runoff water quality.
- Precision farming methods and consultants ensure correct calibration of chemical and fertilizer, as well as timing of application to avoid overuse of chemical products.
- Employees are continuously trained to remain up-to-date on currently recommended practices for crop protection application.
- We value sustainable, long-term relationships and view good communication as a key to these relationships.
- Given the constantly-changing daily challenges inherent in agriculture, we strive to be goal-oriented, practical and highly efficient while ensuring high production.
- Being a good citizen of the local community is also one of our core values.
