We continually seek out Production Partners who aspire to expand their family business. The right partnership can help you reach your goals and pass your farm on to the next generation:

  • Reintegrate the next generation into the farming tradition.
  • Increase revenue for your enterprise without heightening risk.
  • Gain assurance in receiving accurate and punctual compensation.
  • Leverage manure as a cost-effective solution for your fertilizer expenses.

In a typical Production Partner arrangement for a new barn, The Maschhoffs offers a long-term contract that aligns with the duration of your loan. Production Partners receive a monthly base rate for the use of their barn. Beyond this base rate, we offer various incentive programs to enhance your overall compensation potential. At The Maschhoffs, we have been partnering with family farms for more than 20 years when it comes to contract pig production. We are there to help you and your family be successful every step of the way.

  • Built on Trust: At The Maschhoffs, our relationships are built on trust and respect. As a family-owned pig producer, we know your challenges and are passionate about helping you succeed.
  • Location, Location, Location: There’s a lot to consider when siting a new hog barn — site accessibility, environmental planning, neighbor relations, etc. Our Business Development team has a wealth of knowledge in this area. They are here to guide you from concept to construction.
  • Bottom Line: When it’s all said and done, this thing has to cash flow. We have a lot of experience in this area and a network of lenders who will work to ensure your family is financially successful.
  • Long-Term Partner: The Maschhoffs never miss a payment to its partners. The fifth-generation of family owners is committed to pig production for the long-term. You can take comfort knowing you’re entering into a partnership that will last for generations to come.

Walter Traudt was looking for a project to initially fill his “winter down time” in between row crop farming seasons. They farm 1,100 acres of corn and beans in Clay Center, Nebraska, and added a hog production contract with The Maschhoffs to their farming operation in July 2015.

MORE FROM THE TRAUDTS

Walter says the hogs fit their operations really well and push them to work year-round. They’re excited at the thought of retirement and the opportunity created for their kids to come back to work on the family farm when the day comes.
