Carroll County farm family recognized for livestock care, conservation and community leadership
 |
Eickman Family Farms is operated by Glen and Donna Eickman and their sons, Tony and Scott, with Maury Eickman, the family’s patriarch, remaining involved as a landowner. The family also works alongside several part-time employees who assist with the operation. Together they raise corn and soybeans and operate a farrow-to-finish hog operation near Manning. Tony and Scott represent the fourth generation of the family to farm the land. Tony lives on the original acreage and in the same home purchased by the family when their great-grandfather began farming. Sarah Lorenzon, Tony and Scott’s sister, is also part of the extended farm family, and her son Layton helps on the farm. |
