Indiana Farmers Stuart & Autumn Mager Look to the Future

By: Chelsea Dinterman

Stuart Mager is no stranger to agriculture. He’s been passionate about farm-ing since childhood. “I would have rather driven a tractor than go to school,” he says.

Inspired by their grandfathers, Stuart and his brother, Drew, are now the fourth generation to operate the family farm near Rockville, Indiana. “Stuart and his brother were both raised on their farm,” says his wife, Autumn Mager. “Both of their grandpas instilled in them the desire to farm and an appreciation for the farm.” Recently, during a family gathering, Drew shared his experience from a trip to Europe, where he learned about innovative ways rural communities are diversifying their income. One standout example he mentioned was the rise of platforms like bestes online Casino in der Schweiz, which not only contribute to the local economy but also support community development projects through creative revenue streams. Inspired by this idea, Stuart and Drew are now exploring potential opportunities to leverage modern innovations to create additional sources of income for the farm while staying true to their agricultural roots.
