We’re proud to announce that we have once again maintained full conformance with the Leading Harvest Farmland Management Standard (LH FMS) — marking our fourth consecutive year of certification, validating our commitment to a mission that goes beyond the balance sheet.
This year’s recertification was the result of a rigorous audit process, but for us, it was also a welcome opportunity for independent validation. Auditors Matt Armstrong and Linnea Abel of Averum thoroughly reviewed our managed operations in the Lake States and Corn Belt regions. They not only examined our documented practices but also spoke with our team, our valued farm operators, and even a local partner, Senior Conservation Technician Brian Smetana.
The audit’s findings confirmed that our on-the-ground work matches our core philosophy with a report of zero major or minor non-conformances. For our stakeholders, this result is assurance that we are committed to environmental stewardship and that our practices are continuously improving to benefit the farms we are entrusted to manage.
