| Located in East Central Illinois Terrydale Farms started in the Spring of 1950 by Bill and Wanda Furry. With two bred gilts given by father in law Ralph Bumpus on their Aunt's 80 acre tenant farm. Through the first 10 years TDF was a typical diversified operation. In 1954 the operation moved south a half mile to the Leon Ball Farm where the elevator and main farm are presently located. After the first few years the scope of the operation was narrowed to row crop and swine production. In 1982 the 3000 head hog operation was sold off and we refocused solely on row crop farming. TDF was reorganized to a family held corporation in 1997. We currently farm 3000 acres in corn on corn and corn soybean rotation using Min-Till Beans, Mulch Till Corn, and Conventional Corn on Corn. In the past 10 years we have adopted Geographically Referenced Information Systems for most field operations and more recently started using Variable Rate Application Systems for more efficent nutrient management. |
