Services we offer

No-till planting corn, soybeans, and other crops offers a powerful way to improve soil health while boosting farm efficiency. By leaving last season’s crop residue on the surface and planting directly into undisturbed soil, you preserve soil structure and protect valuable aggregates—those tiny clusters of sand, silt, clay, and organic matter that give soil its “crumbly” texture. Healthy aggregates create pore spaces that allow water to infiltrate quickly instead of running off, reduce compaction, and give roots a clear path to grow deeper. This undisturbed environment protects the delicate network of mycorrhizal fungi, earthworms, and beneficial bacteria that cycle nutrients, improve organic matter, and build a thriving underground ecosystem. The result is a living soil that gets better every season, instead of being reset by tillage.

The benefits extend beyond soil biology. No-till fields handle heavy rains without washing away topsoil and store more water for crops to use during dry spells—helping corn and soybeans stay healthy and productive through weather extremes. Residue cover helps regulate soil temperature, suppress weeds, and reduce evaporation, which can lower irrigation needs. Over time, improved nutrient cycling and weed suppression can reduce reliance on synthetic fertilizers and herbicides, lowering input costs while protecting water quality. Whether it’s corn, soybeans, or small grains, no-till planting creates a resilient, efficient system that supports strong yields, healthier soil, and long-term profitability.
No-till planting and cover crops work together to build healthier soil, reduce costs, and increase long-term profitability for farmers. By eliminating tillage, soil structure is preserved and vital soil aggregates are protected—these clusters of soil particles improve water infiltration, root growth, and microbial activity. Cover crops, planted between cash crops, keep the soil covered year-round, prevent erosion, and naturally cycle nutrients back into the soil. This reduces the need for synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, and irrigation, cutting input costs over time. The result is healthier forage for livestock, better resilience during droughts or heavy rains, and more stable yields. Regenerative practices like these not only restore the land but also improve a farm’s bottom line. As custom operators, we show up on time, care for your land as if it were our own, and are committed to building soil health and long-term value on every acre we work.
We have 7,300-gallon tanks with disc injectors or surface application options to meet your field’s needs. Using cattle manure as a natural fertilizer provides long-lasting benefits for soil health, crop productivity, and farm profitability. By applying manure at lower rates across more acres, nutrients are distributed more evenly, improving soil biology without overloading any one field. This promotes stronger root systems, better water retention, and healthier crops—while reducing the need for expensive synthetic fertilizers.

As custom manure application operators, we show up on time and get the job done when it matters most—before fields are too wet in the spring or freeze up in the fall. Timely application ensures nutrients are incorporated efficiently and reduces soil compaction. We treat your land and your manure as if it were our own, helping you get the most value from your resources while improving long-term soil health and profit per acre.
We have 750-bushel Meyers vertical beater spreaders. We can clean out cattle barns, stacking slabs, stockpiles in fields, or sand-laden manure from liquid pits.

At our farm, we’re passionate about helping other farmers succeed with regenerative practices like no-till, cover crops, nutrient management, and proper equipment setup. We know from experience that getting started can be overwhelming—figuring out planter settings, crop rotations, nutrient management, and cover crops. That’s why we offer mentorship to guide you through the learning curve.

We work alongside you to put the five soil health principles into action:

Keep the soil covered – We help you select the right cover crops, residue management strategies, and equipment adjustments to protect your soil from erosion and temperature extremes year-round.

Minimize soil disturbance – We show you how to fine-tune no-till or strip-till systems, reduce passes, and set up equipment to disturb as little soil as possible while still achieving excellent seed placement.

Keep living roots in the ground – We help you design crop and cover crop rotations that keep roots growing in your soil for as many days of the year as possible, feeding soil microbes and improving structure.

Maximize diversity – We work with you to introduce plant species diversity through strategic rotations, multi-species cover crops, and integrating livestock where possible, creating a healthier, more resilient soil ecosystem.

Integrate livestock – We share strategies for safely and efficiently grazing cover crops or crop residue, along with effective manure and nutrient management practices. We also guide you in applying compost and utilizing livestock’s natural manure contributions to close the nutrient loop and boost long-term soil fertility.

Whether you're just starting or looking to fine-tune your system, we’re here to share what’s worked for us and help you avoid common pitfalls. Our goal is to set you up for long-term success, improve your soil health, and build a more resilient, profitable farm—one acre at a time.
Meadowbrook Farm now offers professional aerial application services using advanced agricultural spray drones. Our drone technology allows us to precisely apply cover crops, foliar spray nutrients, and crop protection products with exceptional efficiency and accuracy all while minimizing soil compaction and preventing crop damage.
Drone application is ideal for:
Cover crop interseeding into standing crops
Foliar feeding, including nitrogen and biological applications
Fungicide and crop protection treatments
Wet field conditions
Targeted, prescription-based applications
By utilizing drone technology, we can apply products exactly where and when they’re needed — improving nutrient efficiency, supporting soil health, and reducing overall input waste.
