Join Mark Kimmel from Belle Acres in Alliance, Nebraska, as he shares his journey of carrying on his family’s farming legacy. After the sudden passing of his father in 2002, Mark faced the challenge of managing the farm with no prior financial experience. With the support of his lifelong friend Neil Romick and 21st Century Equipment, he overcame equipment challenges during harvest, highlighting the importance of community and teamwork. Technological advancements, such as AutoTrac, AutoPath and Machine Sync, have made the operation more efficient, allowing for longer working hours and precise farming decisions. As Mark prepares for the return of his son from the Army, he is eager to see the fourth generation join the family tradition, continuing the rewarding experience of farming and nurturing the land.
