Aaron Krueger is a fourth-generation farmer in the southwest corner of Owensville, Indiana, where he manages 870 acres of corn, soybeans and soft red winter wheat with his grandfather. His conservation practices have created more resiliency on his land and reduced his input use just three years into implementation, and he’s got a plan to reap additional agronomic and financial rewards during his next phase of program changes in the coming years.  

He is a Conservation Steward with America’s Conservation Ag Movement. In that capacity, he hosts shop talks and field days with other farmers in his community to help address resource concerns in his area and share ideas on how conservation management practices can help improve operations, agronomy and profitability.
