Riley Schaefer’s Farming Roots 🌾🚜 Riley has been with MyAgData for five months as a Client Services Specialist. He grew up on his family’s farm and ranch in small town Des Lacs, ND, where his family has been farming and ranching for four generations. His grandfather and great-grandfather started the operation in the 60’s. In the 80’s, his grandparents took over, expanded the cow herd, and continued farming. Today, his grandpa works with his dad, who manages the cow herd and roughly 3,000 acres of cropland. Riley has been helping out at the farm since he was little, going from running gates to running the equipment. He was active in 4-H and FFA in his early high school days and spent his summers helping plant, running cows, and showing livestock at junior livestock shows. After high school, Riley attended NDSU, earning a degree in Precision Agriculture with a minor in Water Resources. Throughout college, he frequently returned home to help during harvest in the fall and during calving season in the spring. His interest in ag technology led him to MyAgData, where he sees the work being done as the next step forward in the ag tech world. In May, Riley plans to move back home for good to once again be a part of his family’s operation. Riley credits the farm for shaping who he is today and wouldn’t have it any other way. #ThrowbackThursday #FarmRoots #MyAgData #NextGenAg

When reporting is accurate, savings follow. @Qconnealy19 used MyAgData to create precise field maps, which helped reduce his crop insurance premiums and simplified his reporting process.

Did you catch our latest podcast episode? There’s been a lot of conversation about USDA’s One Farmer, One File initiative. MyAgData CEO, Michelle Tressel joined @AoA_TalkShow to talk about how tools like MyAgData are already helping farmers connect field data and simplify acreage reporting today. #USDA #FarmData #AcreageReporting #AgTech #FarmPrograms

Your precision planting data can do more than guide your season — it can improve acreage reporting. MyAgData uses precision planting data to help document actual planted acres. When those acres are less than FSA reported acres, it could mean lower crop insurance premiums and increased APH. Estimate your potential savings: myagdata.com 🌱

Mike Hartman’s Farming Roots 🌽🚜 Mike Hartman, Senior Web Developer at MyAgData, comes from a family farm that is going on at least four generations located in northwest Ohio. When his dad started farming with his grandpa, their farm at one time had cows, pigs, and sheep. Today, the farm is a grain operation growing corn and soybeans. Since 2011, the farm has switched from conventional tillage to no-till with great success, though they still keep their tillage equipment and use it when needed. Mike’s mom and dad incorporated the farm in 1980 and named it Dixie Farms because Hartman Farms was already taken as a corporation in Ohio. The name comes from Dixie Highway, the road where most of their fields are located. Dixie Highway was once the historic route connecting Michigan to Florida before Interstate 75 was built in the late 1950s. Even today, the road can still be a challenge when moving large farm equipment because of traffic. Mike and his two brothers helped their mom and dad farm as teenagers. Their dad taught them how to be hardworking and passionate about doing things right the first time to be successful in farming. His dad’s character continues to inspire Mike in his career today. At a young age, while other kids were in sports, Mike was responsible for taking care of the sheep flock and driving tractor during spring planting and fall harvest, earning money for college. Mike and his two brothers were active in 4-H and FFA and all earned their FFA State Farmer Degree. All three later attended The Ohio State University and earned bachelor’s degrees in agriculture. Mike’s older brother returned home to help his dad farm, but with limited opportunity to farm full time, Mike decided to pursue a career in accounting. He completed a second degree at Ohio State in accounting and started working at a bank. While working at the bank during Y2K projects, management discovered Mike had strong computer programming skills. This opened many opportunities during the early internet boom where he learned website development and became a Microsoft Certified Developer. He later worked as a certified senior developer consultant with the State of Ohio, Chase Bank, and Marathon Oil. In 2018, a previous coworker, Jason Shigley, called Mike about an opportunity at MyAgData working with precision agriculture and acreage reporting. Mike accepted the offer from Deb and has been with MyAgData ever since. What makes it especially meaningful is that he started his career in agriculture at a young age, and now has the opportunity to combine his careers in technology and agriculture at MyAgData. Since moving back home, Mike continues to help his two brothers farm after work at MyAgData, especially during fall harvest when they need a third person to run the grain cart between the combine and the trucks. He also helps drive and unload the semi trucks, often putting in slightly over 100 hours during a typical harvest season. When his brothers eventually retire from farming, it will likely be the final generation of their family farm. Growing up on a farm and farming with his family has been a great blessing and one of the best experiences in Mike’s life. It also gives special meaning to the work he does today helping develop software at MyAgData to support farmers. #ThrowbackThursday #FarmRoots #MyAgData #FarmFamily

USDA described the future of acreage reporting. We built it. 🌽 Michelle sat down with @AgofAmerica to talk about why farmers don’t have to wait until 2028 for “One Farmer, One File” — and what the July 15 deadline means right now. But here's what most people don't know → youtu.be/MjKT5SDuD2w?si… via @YouTube #AgTech #USDA #MyAgData #FarmData

According to our survey, staff shortages at FSA offices are creating longer wait times and more frustration for growers. 63.6% report their local office has experienced staff loss. There’s a simpler way to report. Go digital. #FarmersSupport #AgTech #AgInnovation #FarmOffice #AgSupport #DigitalFarming

At MyAgData, our roots run deep in agriculture. Each week, we’re sharing a Throwback Thursday story from one of our team members to highlight where they come from and how those experiences shape the work they do today. These are the farm stories behind the people helping make farming a little less hard. Brad Meyer’s Farming Roots 🥔🚜 Brad Meyer, Director of Client Services at MyAgData, grew up in Munger, Michigan, home of the Potato Festival, where his grandpa founded Carl A. Meyer and Sons from the ground up. They grew potatoes for years, and farming was just life. Then the 1980s hit. Like so many farm families, they didn’t make it through. That loss stuck with him. It pushed him toward crop insurance, toward risk management, and toward wanting to make things better for farmers. His parents became crop insurance adjusters. So did he. And what he kept seeing were farmers who had to be experts at everything. Mechanic. Electrician. Marketer. Accountant. Secretary. And still had to fill out black-and-white paper maps just to report their acres. There had to be a better way. Almost 8 years ago, he found it at MyAgData. And that kid from Munger is still trying to make farming a little less hard. #ThrowbackThursday #FarmRoots #MyAgData #FarmFamily

@GoddessofGrain @SassYFarmwife @elonmusk @SecRollins @GoddessofGrain MyAgData already enables secure digital acreage reporting so farmers can report online instead of in-person, saving valuable time for both producers and FSA office staff!

@SassYFarmwife @elonmusk @SecRollins I do know they are working on updates and improved technology for sure

Hearing a lot of county FSA offices are having to shut their doors to the public for a day or multiple days each week just to try to keep up because they are so short staffed. Are you seeing the same thing where you are? It seems to be very Indiana-centric right now?
