Dave always knew he wanted to reconnect to his family roots in agriculture and become a farmer. Following many years of service in the Army, he and his wife, Dagmar, decided to trade city living for a life on a 70-acre cattle farm in Western Kentucky.
When property beside their farm became available, a dream to share their farm and the land with others was born. When Dave and Dagmar approached Farm Credit Mid-America, they found support and a shared interest in making that dream come true.
“Our first meeting, we never talked numbers. We talked about the dream,” Dave said. “And then our loan officer called and said, ‘Yeah, we can do this.’”
