Josh Lemke Farms is a family run business that grows primarily soft red winter wheat, yellow corn, and soybeans on a cash rent or crop share basis depending upon landowner preference. We operate primarily in Hamilton, Jeffeson, Wayne, and Frankiln County in Southern Illinois. We are a primarily no-till farming operation using only tillage practices when they are neccessary. We perform most every aspect of raising a crop ourselves be it equipmnet maintance, planting, spraying, harvest, or record keeping. We have the skilled help and the equipment to grow a crop in a timely and efficient manner. Our focus is to grow high yielding crops while maintaining high levels of environmental stewardship so that future generations will be afforeded the same opportunity that we have.
For us farming is more than just a business. It is a lifestyle. It is a place to raise our family and teach our kids about preseverance, faith, hope, and a strong work ethic. It is working with landowners and establishing long term relationships. It is about keeping the landowner informed about practices that are taking place on thier land. It is about being truthful, upright, and honest in all our dealings. It is about keeping strong working relationships.
If you are a landowner looking for someone to steward your farmland and value your relationship contact us and let us show you what we have to offer. We look forward to speaking with you.
