About Us
Our Story
Started by the Plautz Family in the early 1900s, the farm has continued to grow and change based on the needs of the family. From adding new buildings, to making the decision to stop raising livestock, the Runyard Grain Farm has become what it is today.
Runyard Grain Farm is currently owned and operated by Alan and Susan Runyard. They are joined by their youngest son, Dexter, and his family in the daily management and operations of the farm. Using a combination of the tried and true and the newer technology, they work hard to grow a quality crop while maintaining the health and integrity of the land.
Dustin Runyard is the oldest of son of Alan and Susan. After serving his county in the Arm, he lives minutes down the road from the home farm with his wife, Mallorie, and children, Wade, Isabelle, and Wyatt.
Dexter Runyard and his wife, Chelsey, reside in the farm house with their children - Emma, MacKenna, Alice, and John. Their children are the 7th generation who have lived in the farmhouse. In addition to working the farm, Dexter and Chelsey run their own company, Runyard Parts and Service.
Grain Farming
Our goal is to improve the land we farm while producing high yield cash crops. We employ a variety of methods including crop rotation, various tillage practices, and the application of fertilizers to ensure the health of the soil and the crop.
While our main focus is on corn and soybeans, we also grow hay, wheat, and occasionally oats.
We produce a variety of quality hay and straw. Available in both small squares and 4' x 5' round bales.
Please contact us for more details.
Custom Farming
If you are in need of an extra hand, we offer custom planting, seeding, tillage, and harvest services. We are responsible, efficient, and economical. Please contact us if you have questions.
