Tom Farms

Tom Farms is a multi-generation, family owned organization firmly planted in the fertile prairies of Northern Indiana.

[Senator John Boozman @JohnBoozman]

Enjoyed visiting with Jennifer James, a farmer from Newport, and some of her peers representing operations across seven states and over 74,000 acres of row crops.

Jennifer serves as a director of @RicelandFoods and a member of the Arkansas Rice Research and Promotion Board. She is a strong advocate for agriculture in our state and brings together her experience on the farm and policy on her show Field Good Life.

Today, she brought her voice to Washington with other women leaders in agriculture to share their perspectives and help ensure policymakers hear directly from producers.

We appreciate their advocacy and commitment to a strong, bright future for farm country. #ARinDC

Fertilizer isn’t just another input—it’s a cornerstone of food security.

This white paper (in our bio) takes a hard look at the challenges facing global fertilizer supply chains and what those disruptions could mean for American farmers, crop production, and food prices. It also outlines potential solutions to strengthen supply, improve logistics, and ensure farmers have access to the nutrients they need when they need them.

Whether you agree with every recommendation or not, the conversation is one agriculture needs to be having.

Take a few minutes to read and consider the implications for U.S. agriculture, rural communities, and our nation’s food supply.

Sunset views from the grain leg at CereServ and a reminder of what this season is all about.

The seed corn is popping, the rows are turning green, another crop is taking shape, and we hope to finish planting soon! It’s been a challenging spring, but moments like this make the long days worth it.

Flaming #SeedCorn starts today. 
This process helps stunt the growth of the male corn just enough to widen the pollination window and improve timing in the field. We use a specialized “Flamer” tool equipped with LP tank to create the pulse of flame that makes it happen.
Another unique step in producing next year’s seed!

From the farm fields of Indiana to national television, Kip, continuing to stand up for American agriculture and rural communities.

Tonight on Fox Business, he shared why protecting U.S. farmland, supporting farmers, and strengthening American agriculture matters now more than ever.

Grateful for every opportunity to tell agriculture’s story on a national stage.

This article is worth the read.

In a world with endless information, opinions, headlines, and noise, it’s easy to let belief, emotion, or repetition outweigh actual evidence. That applies to all of us.

One thing agriculture has taught me is that reality eventually shows up. Weather, markets, yields, input costs, policies—facts matter. Outcomes matter. Evidence matters.

Good reminder to stay curious, ask questions, and be willing to challenge even the things we think we know.

Monday definitely acted like a Monday!

A few tillage breakdowns tried slowing us down, but all 5 planters are still rolling and seed corn is going in the ground. You fix it and keep moving this time of year. 🌽 #TomFarms #Plant26 #SeedCorn #Dekalb

Planting seed corn today, not just growing a crop, but growing next year’s seed.

Pretty amazing to think every pass across the field is part of what farmers across the country will plant next season.

Thankful for a good window, great conditions, and the opportunity to do what we do.

Really enjoyed watching this interview of @kiptom on @farmprogress . This is a great reminder of the perspective, work ethic, and passion he brings to agriculture every day.

Couldn’t think of a better day to share it…
Happy Birthday, Kip! 🎉 Grateful for you and all you’ve built.

We were hustling, making the most of every minute… until the rain caught us…again.

That’s farming, run when you can, wait when you have to. We’ll be ready to roll as soon as it lets up.

When the weather finally says “GO,” you don’t ask questions… you just roll!

Tillage turning soil, planters putting down seed, and a whole lot of progress packed into one beautiful day. Safe to say we (and just about every farmer around) made the most of this window.

Grateful for days like today and the team we have to make it all possible!

To everyone refreshing the radar every 10 minutes… we see you.

Any other farmers feel like meteorologists right now? 🙋‍♀️

Caught some runs between showers today, progress is progress.

Back after it tomorrow. 🌱

After a very wet spring, it’s feels good to finally get a few #Soybeans in the ground today!

We may be dodging more rain tonight, but we’ll take every window we can get. Grateful to be rolling…a little.

Finally kicking off some tillage today!

Got in the field rolling with a Degelman high speed disc behind the John Deere 9R, and it’s working the ground just the way we like it.

Always a good feeling getting back out there and seeing things come together for the season.

American farmers are the backbone of this country—and this week in D.C. proved it. 🇺🇸

Real action is being taken to support those who feed America.

Fertilizer isn’t just a farm issue, it’s a food security issue.

@kiptom explains what’s going on and why it matters right now.

This week, Kassi had the opportunity to be in Washington, D.C., meeting with lawmakers to advocate for American farmers, agricultural research, and food-insecure communities around the world.

America’s farmers have one of the most important jobs there is—and it’s up to us to share our story.

Highlights from a very productive week included:
🇺🇸 Meeting with White House staff at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building
🇺🇸 Meeting with members of the U.S. House of Representatives @repjimbaird & @reprudyyakym
🇺🇸 Meeting with Indiana Senators @senjimbanks & @sentoddyoung
🇺🇸 Engaging with both Senate and House Agriculture Committees
🇺🇸 Meeting with the @usdagov Under Secretary Hutchins
🇺🇸 Attending the Agri-Pulse Summit
🇺🇸 Experiencing the beauty of Washington, D.C. during peak cherry blossom season

If you ever have the opportunity to share your story—take it. It’s absolutely worth it!

A big thank you to @FarmJFoundation for making all of this possible. Incredibly honored to be the Indiana Farm Ambassador for FJF.

Getting ready for planting season here at Tom Farms

Today we’re treating soybeans, one of the most important steps to set the crop up for success before it even hits the soil. Seed treatments help protect against early-season pests and diseases, giving each plant a stronger start right out of the gate.

It may not be the flashiest job on the farm, but it’s one of those behind-the-scenes tasks that makes a big difference come harvest time.

Planting season will be here before we know it, and days like today remind us how much preparation goes into every acre. Here’s to getting things ready and hoping for a safe, smooth spring in the fields!
