Case Study: D&D Horras Farms achieves reliable load tracking and financial insight with Conservis

D&D Horras Farms - Customer Case Study

D&D Horras Farms is a corn, soybean and hog operation in southeast Iowa run by Dave and Cherie Horras with Dave’s twin brother Dan. As the farm grew they faced missed harvest loads (including an incident where four loads were paid to the wrong person), unreliable yield-monitor backups, poor inventory and contract visibility, and a need to share trustworthy data with landlords and lenders — so they adopted the Conservis farm management system in 2018 to address these challenges.

Conservis first implemented harvest tracking and then expanded to planning, budgeting and inventory modules, with hands-on onboarding and responsive customer success support. That rollout gave D&D Horras Farms reliable load and settlement tracking (remediating issues like the four-load mispayment), backed-up yield data, clearer work orders so fields aren’t missed, improved inventory and contract visibility, and role-based access controls; they’re also participating in Conservis’ Financial Management/banking integration to streamline financials and lender reporting. Overall, Conservis’ solution reduced administrative stress and provided better operational and profit insight as the farm scaled.
