At Heritage Family Farms, our family treats all of our land as if it were our own. We value all of our farm land and strive to leave it in a better condition than when we started with it. We are mindful that our land needs to be handled in such a way that it will produce quality crops for many generations. With this in mind, we utilize technology in order to apply fertilizer and nitrogen at a varied rate to build areas that are low and to not over apply in areas that are high. We also work closely with drainage experts to ensure that our land is properly drained and we strategically build waterways in order to minimize erosion. It is also imperative to Heritage Family Farms to minimize erosion and run-off along drainage ditches. Because of this we have built filter strips along drainage ditches, which also provides habitat for area wildlife.
