It would be a gross understatement to say that it has been busy around Isbell Farms lately. Let me see if I can catch you up on everything since our last blog post. We had visitors from the Embassy of Cuba on September 6th. We cooked lunch for them and sat around the table for […]
We completed our first week of harvest 2022. Unfortunately, we only harvested three full days due to running into green rice on Tuesday and then a little rain on Friday. Still, we’ve been able to cut 438 acres since we started, and you won’t catch us complaining about that! September is National Rice Month, which […]

Unfortunately, that isn’t possible, but we were able to stitch images from our Field Cam into a timelapse so you can experience the crop […]
Since 2018, much of Isbell Farm’s energy use is being generated through their on-farm solar project. This 300KWH solar farm provides power for irrigation, grain drying, farm-shops and residences. When all of the generated energy is not in use by Isbell Farms, the power is transferred to the local power grid through net metering. We […]
