Sam grew up on a row crop and farrow to finish swine farm in rural Hamilton County. She spent her childhood working in the family’s farrowing house and finishers, and eventually bred and raised her own show pigs for county fair. She earned the title of Iowa Pork Princess in 2006.
Upon graduation from Ellsworth Community College in 2007 and Iowa State in 2009, Sam worked full time writing manure management plans and overseeing marketing and promotion for an MMP service provider.

Sam, her husband Dan, and their three children reside on a farm near Gladbrook in Tama County.
Seth Wengert, CCA, co-owner
Seth grew up on a diversified farm that included corn, soybeans, hay, a dairy herd, sheep, and farrow to finish hogs. Seth showed sheep while in 4-H and FFA and used them to help pay his way through Iowa State University.
Seth graduated from ISU in 2007. He worked in both the retail agronomy sector and the precision ag industry before joining The Maschhoffs in 2011. Within The Maschhoffs environmental department Seth wrote manure management plans, but also assisted the business development team in recruiting new contract producers. Walking producers through the process of building a new facility gave Seth expertise in helping farmers through the permitting and construction process. Seth is also a Certified Crop Advisor.
Seth, his wife Amber, and their two daughters live on the family farm near Clemons in Marshall County.
