Stay viable
for today,
tomorrow,
and
beyond.
As best farming
practices continue to
evolve, the ability to
adapt will preserve your
land's productivity for
future generations.
By adopting methods
like nutrient use
efficiency, FRAC rotation
or integrated pest
management, cover
crop usage and more,
you can maintain
healthy soil while
minimizing run-off and
limiting pest resistance.
We stand ready to
partner with you with
all of this, and more.
Because we're committed
to helping you protect
the sustainability of
your land through
research-based tools
and solutions.
Inside the packing plant.
Possibly among the most
significant are the generational
changes, and Mattive has noticed the
adoption of different practices.
TOGETHER,
WE GENERATE BETTER

" It's not the same as, 'My grandad
and dad did it this way, and now I
do, too.' This younger generation
is open to more changes and
implementing more technology, like
controlling storages and sprinklers
from their smartphones, " said
Mattive. " Our farm wouldn't be
where we are today without the
boys. They bring a vision and energy
to our farm, and that's exciting. "
Mattive also predicts a larger move
towards drone usage, but can't quite
yet see how electric tractors will
come into play.
" Maybe it's my age, " he said,
" but it's a hard concept for me to
understand fully. "
Autonomous tractors may play a
role in easing labor issues, but until
that fully arrives, lack of available
labor and equipment are forcing the
change in everything from planting
to tillage practices, with fewer trips
across the field becoming more
common, along with other ways to
get the same - if not more - work
done with fewer people.
One year, the farm encountered
a situation during planting, where four
six-row planters weren't being fully
utilized due to the lack of operators.
Two planters ran full time, one only
part time and another nearly not at all.
To adapt, the operation will be running
three eight-row planters instead.
Worley Family Farms operates
its own packing facility called
Hi-Land Potato Co., with the sales
handled through RPE. The vertical
integration helps the company
effectively and efficiently manage its
1,900-2,000 acres of potato production.
Bob Mattive serves on the National
Potato Council, the Colorado Potato
Administrative Committee, the
Colorado Agricultural Leadership
Program board of directors, and the
Council for Agricultural Research,
Extension and Teaching.
