Fair days make lasting memories
This time of year makes me think of my childhood memories of going to the fair and of growing up on the farm.
Read MoreEvery one of our members is unique and so are their stories. Each week, the Group Member Spotlight takes a behind-the-scenes look at one of our group/business sponsorship members to showcase their story of who they are and what they do!
Our next Membership Spotlight is….Magyar Farms
Magyar Farms, LLC is a 3,000-acre grain farm in Ashtabula County owned and operated by the Magyar Family.
Jeff Magyar and his family milked cows until 2007 when they made the switch to focus only on growing grain. The farm had been leaning toward grain in the years leading up to the transition, and following the death of Jeff’s father, Robert, in 2008, the Magyars became a full-time grain operation.
Today, the family farms about 3,000 of their own acres and rents an additional 550-600 acres in Ashtabula and Trumbull counties. The Magyars grow corn and food-grade soybeans that are marketed to Japan.
The Magyar family also operates a public grain storage facility in partnership with Centerra Co-Op, which gives farmers a local market to sell their grain.
