A family farm, generations deep.

Hagen Farms is a multi-generational family corn and soybean farm in south central Minnesota. Same ground, same name, and a family still doing the work — from planting in the spring to the last load off the field in the fall.

Who we are

Same fields. Next generation.

Hagen Farms sits on 155th Street outside Glencoe, in the flat, black-soil country of McLeod County. It is a family operation that has been handed down rather than bought up — the kind of farm where the people in the cab are the people whose name is on the mailbox.

The work is corn and soybeans, the two crops this part of Minnesota does best. That means long days in April and May getting seed in the ground, a summer of watching the sky, and a fall of running the combine until the fields are clean.

“Multi-generational family corn and soybean farm located in south central Minnesota.”— Hagen Farms
What we grow

Two crops, done right.

Corn and soybeans in rotation — the backbone of south central Minnesota agriculture.

Corn

Field corn

Planted in spring once the soil warms, tasseled by midsummer, and combined in the fall when the kernels have dried down.

  • Spring planting
  • Fall harvest
  • Stored on-farm in the bins
Soybeans

Soybeans

Rotated with corn to keep the ground healthy. Harvested first in the fall, typically ahead of the corn.

  • Rotation crop
  • Early-fall harvest
  • Fixes nitrogen for next year’s corn
McLeod County

South central Minnesota

Some of the most productive row-crop ground in the state, about an hour west of the Twin Cities on Highway 212.

  • Flat, black prairie soil
  • Corn and soybean country

Harvest, as it happens.

A year on the farm

Four seasons, one cycle.

What a corn and soybean year looks like in south central Minnesota.

April – May

Planting

Fields are worked and seed goes in as soon as the soil is warm and dry enough. A few good weeks decide a lot of the year.

June – August

Growing

Corn tassels, beans flower and pod, and the farm watches rain totals and the forecast more closely than anyone in town.

September – November

Harvest

Soybeans come off first, then corn. Combine, grain cart and trucks run from first light until the dew comes back.

December – March

Winter

Grain is hauled and marketed, equipment is serviced in the shed, and next year’s plan is made at the kitchen table.

How we farm

The way it’s been done here.

Family first

Handed down through the generations and still in family hands today.

Take care of the ground

Rotating corn and soybeans keeps the soil working for the long run, not just this season.

Do the work ourselves

Planting, spraying, harvesting, hauling — the family runs the equipment and knows every field by name.
