About Shana Beattie

Born and raised on my family’s cattle ranch in North Central Florida, I now reside in Sumner, Nebraska, where I farm with my husband Bart and his parents on Beattie Ranch, a, fifth-generation family farm. Currently, we farm corn, soybeans, alfalfa, and certified grass seed. In addition to raising crops, we run a cow/calf ranch and a wean-to-finish swine operation where we utilize the corn we’ve raised as the primary feed source for the livestock. While my husband and I understand the immense responsibility of producing quality food to feed the world, I cannot think of a better opportunity to give my four children than our way of life in agriculture.
