Case Study: MBS Family Farms achieves real-time visibility and streamlined operations with Conservis

MBS Family Farms - Customer Case Study

MBS Family Farms, a multi‑generational corn and soybean operation based in Plainfield, IA, had outgrown paper records and spreadsheets as it scaled to 20 employees across two states. The farm began using Conservis’ farm management software in 2011 to solve challenges in grain tracking, field visibility, and collaboration so multiple users could access a single source of truth for planning, operations and grain settlements.

Conservis delivered one integrated system with mobile work orders, planning & budgeting, and inventory reconciliation, giving MBS real‑time visibility and streamlined remote field communication. The results include faster error detection (they identified a mispaid load within a day), shareable, audit‑quality reports for landlords and seed customers, and highly accurate grain accounting (bin in vs. out within about 0.5–1%), enabling timelier billing and more confident decision‑making.
