About Us

Fred is a third generation Kansas farmer.  His grandfather homesteaded in the Bird City, Ks area from Switzerland.  He graduated from the University of Colorado with a degree in business and advertising.  Fred extremely enjoys farming especially researching all the new farming procedures, equipment, and seed genetics.  He has grown the Kansas State University wheat test plots for 27 years for Sherman County.  His favorite hobbies include time with his family, traveling, and Nascar.

Jeanie comes from a lineage of women involved in agriculture and grew up on a nearby ranch. She enjoys the freedom farming affords a woman, whether it be long hours in the office or driving a tractor when needed.  Jeanie has a degree in fashion business and advertising.  Through the years, Jeanie has been involved in many leadership capacities mostly involving agriculture.  She enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, and a great game of cards.

New to the farm is Fred and Jeanie’s oldest daughter Tiffany Mathias
.  After years on Hyatt’s Management Team, Tiffany has returned to her Western Kansas roots to transition into her parents’ role as operator and a new farmer.  She is also thrilled with the versatility this new occupation allows her to explore.  Working for a large corporation or working for yourself and your parents, each has their unique set of advantages.  Tiffany’s journey back on the plains is off to a great start...

Tahnee, Tatum, and Tennille are the Schields’ three other daughters.  Even though not on the farm full time, the other three daughters come home from the Denver area to help during harvests and projects.

Jeff Fisher (farm foreman), Terry Martin, Jared Williams and Martin Church make up the rest of the farm’s extended family and work force.
