I have worked for Ryberg Farms full time for 8 years, but prior to that i worked part time all through high school.

What are your responsibilities with the operation?

I take care of the technology side of the farm which includes setting up GPS equipment, creating variable rate maps as needed, trouble shoot when problems arise, and keep all of our mapping software in sync with each other.  Besides the technology, I run a planter in the spring, sprayer in the summer, sugar beet lifter in the fall as well as our strip till machine.  I also fill in with whatever is needed, whether it’s jumping in the combine for a couple hours, or running the grain cart, salford, side dresser, or hauling corn.  In the fall I also help keep an eye on the bin site, running the dryer, and managing corn storage/loading out when the time comes.

Ryberg Farms is set apart from most other farms because of our strip tillage system and the willingness to always try new and innovative ideas that are presented to us to help improve productivity and profitability.
