Will returned to his family’s farm in 2014 and has been working with his father, uncle, and cousin to build the operation’s profitability and sustainability ever since. Together, they manage roughly 5,000 acres of corn, wheat, and soybeans, as well as 120 cow-calf pairs.
The Corman farm focuses on a number of conservation practices to improve its bottom line and the natural resources that sustain it. Over time, support from conservation programs such as the Environmental Quality Incentives Program and Conservation Stewardship Program have helped him implement practices including nutrient management, irrigation water management, and pest management conservation systems. Combined with precision agriculture technologies, these practices help Will reduce nutrient run-off, improve water quality, and build soil health.
