Baughman Township Farmer & Conservation Advocate:  Matt Falb, alongside his wife Beth and their two children, Evan and Ella, operates an 80-acre farm in Baughman Township where dedication to stewardship and sustainability runs deep. His operation includes a full-cycle beef cattle enterprise—cow/calf through finish—and a robust mix of crops including mixed grass-legume hay, corn, and annual forages.

Since 2011, Matt’s crops have been certified organic, a testament to his commitment to ecologically sound farming. His conservation toolbox is rich: diverse cover crop mixes, managed intensive grazing, silvopasture, waterways, and integrating livestock into cropland—each practice improving soil health and enhancing resilience against extreme weather.

A member of the Farm Bureau and Oak Grove Mennonite Church, Matt exemplifies the blend of agricultural innovation and community values. His farm isn’t just about growing food—it’s about growing futures rooted in care for the land and those who depend on it.
