Huber’s Orchard and Winery has diversified into winemaking, a distillery, and a family farm park to stabilize revenue, but their orchards remain the heart of the operation. Expanding has reduced their exposure to weather and crop-related risks and created more opportunities.

When diversification isn’t quite enough, crop insurance can be a primary line of defense for many operations. Read more about why the Hubers view it as a foundational pillar of their financial planning, rather than an optional expense 👉 https://bit.ly/4eMQk9e.

For Bill and Bob, modernizing their central Ohio farm meant moving out of the freezing cold and into a modern, heated shop. Building it, however, required a smart financial strategy.

They needed a way to make the investment work for their bottom line. Our team at Farm Credit MidAmerica stepped in with a 10-year leasing program. By choosing to lease instead of taking out a traditional loan, Bill and Bob were able to secure lower monthly payments to keep capital available for other operating needs.

Farming is a business built on resilience, but sometimes the toughest challenges are off the farm.

When Bob entered into a difficult divorce, he faced a personal turning point and the possibility of losing his share of the family operation. Farm Credit Mid-America assisted with more than just financing, his loan officer stepped in with understanding. They helped Bob secure the financing needed to ensure the legacy he and his brother Bill worked so hard for remained intact.

Their story is a powerful reminder that a true financial partner doesn't just look at the balance sheet — they look at the person behind the farm. We’re in this together, through every season of life.

For customer-owners Bill and Bob, the 2025 planting season was a test of resilience. After planting 600 acres, Mother Nature delivered two-and-a-half inches of rain followed by even more pooling. The result? A forced massive 250-acre replant.

In farming, a single storm can wipe out a year’s income unless you have a partner who understands the stakes. Through their Farm Credit Mid-America crop insurance policy, Bill and Bob have the assurance that even when it rains, their legacy won’t be washed away.
