Community News: Estrem Family Farm highlighted by Microsoft and Land O’ Lakes

David and Kevin Estrem, brothers who grew up on their family’s dairy farm in Minnesota, now grow corn and soybeans there, managing 5,400 acres over 45 farms. The Estrem family meets at “Grandpa and Grandma’s house” over their traditional morning coffee every day to discuss their game plan, and then they turn to modern Microsoft and Land O’Lakes technology for efficiencies that help get more bushels out of every acre. “My dad would be very, very proud,” David Estrem says.
