The Books
Brian Book of Breese, IL, has been partnering with The Maschhoffs since 1998. One of the longest standing production partner relationships for the company.
He owns and operates two wean-to-finish sites with his wife Kristy, son Konor and daughter Olivia.
The Harters
Doug Harter and his family have two sites with The Maschhoffs. They have a 5,000 head feeder to finish site and a 2,480 head wean to finish site. Doug’s feeder to finish site is in New Hartford, IL and his wean to finish site is located just outside of Eldara, IL.
Doug and his wife Kim, along with their three sons all help in the barns. Doug is a 4th generation farmer with grain and livestock and proud to be an American farmer helping to feed the world. Aside from raising hogs, Doug and his family also have 2,400 acres of corn and soybeans.
The Traudts
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.
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.
The Ehlers
Mike and Michelle Ehlers joined the Maschhoff network of production partners in the fall of 2000. Mike’s parents, Ken and Deb, also raise hogs for The Maschhoffs Inc.
In addition to custom farming, the Ehlers also provide custom manure application.
