Teamwork, Attention To Detail Are Hallmarks Of Judisch Farm

By: Richard Oswald

Brent Judisch and his wife, Lisa, are a team. Brent puts it this way: “We don’t have a job, we are a farmer.” This year, from spring planting through fall harvest, Brent and Lisa are also part of another team: They’re one of two farm families being featured in DTN’s 2017 View From the Cab weekly column.

Brent and Lisa farm in northeastern Iowa near Cedar Falls, where they raise corn and soybeans. Team Judisch does it all, from tillage to planting, spraying, fertilizing, harvesting, and then some. At planting time, Lisa performs tillage ahead of Brent’s planter. Whenever duty calls and Brent is elsewhere, Lisa is perfectly comfortable filling in. “At harvest, Lisa and I both handle combine duties full time, she has her machine and I have mine,” Brent explained.
