Hybrid85 Announces Partnership with Graze Master Group®
December 10, 2021
PLEASANT DALE, Neb. – Del Ficke and Ken Stewart, founders of the Graze Master Group®, are welcoming Nate Belcher, a founder of Hybrid85, as a partner with their efforts.
The Graze Master® Group was formed when Del Ficke, owner of Ficke Cattle Company, and Ken Stewart, owner of XL ranch, decided to get together and build a suite of services that actually serve the nation’s farms and ranches for the better. Their team offers everything from profit-driven farm and ranch consulting to legacy planning and now is adding a laser-focused mission to ensure farmers and ranchers receive only the best advice when it comes to making decisions on inputs such as seed and fertilizer.
“Balancing nature with profitability takes a commonsense approach by people who are directly involved with agriculture on the frontlines. We only want to work with those who are doing the real heavy lifting and want to sincerely improve the lives of farmers and ranchers – period,” said Ficke. “We’ve separated the wheat from the chaff in all of our agricultural journeys and we are ready to get rolling with the Graze Master Group.”
“The Graze Master Group recognizes modern agriculture is striving each day to manage businesses in a dynamic, high-pressure environment. That is why we have sought out the right partners who are coming together with a shared passion and frontline experience driven to add profitability and strategic perspective to farms and ranches with powerful and tangible outcomes. I have seen Nate in action and the positive results that unfold with his expertise. He is a perfect fit for our efforts,” added Ken Stewart.
“Nate Belcher is one of the big reasons we made major, innovative changes at Ficke Cattle Company,” Ficke went on. “We couldn’t be more excited to have his expertise as part of the Graze Master Group portfolio of resources as our Input Implementation Specialist. Nate, time and again, saves us money, time and continues to point us in the right direction. He has a no-nonsense approach to agricultural inputs and seed products. Time and again, Nate steers farmers and ranchers to pay for only what they actually need.”
Ficke Cattle Company has a long history in the seed business. Ficke’s father, Kenneth, sold Pioneer and then Garst Seed for nearly 50 years. Kenneth also sold Garst and Pioneer bulls for several years, “The seed business should be a people business. Nate Belcher and the Hybrid85 brand takes me back to the values I remember. He genuinely wants what is best for the farmer and his family. Belcher isn’t wavering from his intent to offer, ‘better corn at an honest price.’ We trust Nate because he’s proven he is worthy of our trust. That’s why we want others to benefit from his expertise.”
“I am honored to be a part of the Graze Master Group. Our values align, which makes it an easy decision,” Belcher said in closing. “Hybrid85’s goal is to help farmers be as profitable as possible while at the same time being good stewards of the land they manage. I believe in what the Graze Master Group represents – putting the farmer, the land, and profitability and the center of what they do. It’s time we redefine what ‘good farming practices’ actually mean, and the Graze Master Group is there to guide you down that path.”
