As harvest season continues across Iowa, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the deep, generational relationships that are at the heart of many local family farms. One example close to home is Chrisman Family Farms, which has been rooted in the community since 1861. Passed down through the generations, this farm represents the values of hard work, dedication, and family legacy that define so many in the agricultural community.

Our Ag Lenders, Brian Hauser and Robert Poppe, have the privilege of working alongside three generations of the Chrisman Family. Together, they help navigate the financial needs of a modern farm while honoring its historical roots.

“Agriculture is complex and rapidly changing,” says Brian. “Marion County Bank is here to be your trusted advisor and financial partner—not just for today, but for generations to come.”

When it comes to agriculture, it's more important than ever to stay informed. Understanding how factors like prices, marketing, the rate environment, and succession planning impact the family farm is essential. That’s why we provide resources and guidance to help family farming operations, like Chrismans, make informed decisions.
