As their scale increased, the Ahlerts
upgraded their vehicles.
Buying their first box truck was
a milestone, but then they bought a
refrigerated box truck, which relegated the first truck to field use,
he said.
When considering an equipment
purchase, the decision should hinge
on how quickly the machine will pay
for itself.
“It doesn’t have to be an emotional decision. It’s an objective decision” about the farm’s efficiency,
he said.
Ahlert said he plans to keep growing over the next few years. “Overall,
we have never regretted our decisions
to grow the operation,” he said.

want to be and what your idea of success is. Some farmers, like Naylor,
simply do not want a huge operation,
he said.
Farmers should focus on what they
know how to do, especially when
they are starting out, Ahlert said.
Ahlert briefly tried raising chickens, but he spent a lot of time on them
without much profit. “I decided produce is what I do,” he said.
Investing in the farm’s nursery
stock is important. It can help a farm
get a head start or set it back, Ahlert
said.
Irrigation, too, should be a priority
for produce growers. “The first thing
I did on that new property was drill a
well,” Ahlert said.

Worms HATE this herb!
For Mike Brownback of Spiral
Path Farm in Perry County, scale has
just been an adventure.
Brownback started farming in the
mid-1970s on his grandmother’s
4-acre farm with a rototiller and some
steers.
His uncle, a livestock dealer, supplied him with a bred gilt that helped
him start a farrow-to-finish operation.
Brownback and his wife bought
their own farm in 1978. In two years,
they lost tens of thousands of dollars
and had to get an emergency loan
from the predecessor to the Farm Service Agency.
The Brownbacks stuck with pig
farming, and they improved their
finances. “The old terminology for
pigs was ‘mortgage lifters,’ ” Brownback said.
As the couple approached 40,
the pigs seemed increasingly like a
means to an end, so they switched to
a produce CSA.
They started with 22 members and
now serve 2,200, Brownback said.
Efficiency is a key to surviving as
a farmer no matter the scale. Brownback said that means using workers,
farm buildings and mechanization to
your advantage.
Showing a picture of the farm’s
Italian-built harvester at work in a high
tunnel, he said, “we can harvest a boatload, and that’s a family operation.”
Brownback also emphasizes caring
for the soil. “Doesn’t matter what size
you are. You can still work on soil improvement,” he said.
New farmers generally have to
pay their dues in the tough wholesale market until they can build their
brand, Brownback said.
Now that he is established, Brownback said he only deals with buyers
who want a win-win relationship with
the farm.
At this point, land is a big limiting
factor for Spiral Path.
Most of the neighboring properties
came up for sale when Brownback
was younger, but he did not buy. “You
never think you can afford land unless you’re wealthy,” he said.
If there is an opportunity to buy
land, go for it, but try to avoid putting
up your existing farm as collateral, he
said.
