Nicollet County Farm Family

Waibel Family Farm

The Waibel family farm got its start when Tim and Mary bought their first piece of land in 1990. Over the years, they grew the operation by adding contract wean-to-finish pork sites and expanding their acres of corn and soybeans. Today, Tim, Mary, and their sons, Justin and Jonathan Rewitzer, work side by side running the farm. Justin and Jonathan are full partners, handling daily operations from fieldwork to managing the hog sites.

Their daughters, Rebecca, Anna and Clarissa, pitch in when needed, keeping it a true family effort. Beyond the farm gate, the family stays active in local agricultural groups. Tim currently serves on the Minnesota Corn Growers Association (MCGA) and Jonathan currently serves on the Nicollet Sibley County Corn Growers. Tim is a past president of the MCGA. Both Tim and Jonathan have served on the Nicollet County and MN Pork Producers Association. They are also involved with the local Farm City Hub Club. Tim and Mary were recognized with the Service to Agriculture award for their dedication.

Through steady work and community involvement, the Waibels have built a farm that is more than just a business. It is a shared way of life that continues to bring their family together.
