Farmer prioritizes strength, stretching

Justin Ewalt knew something needed to change.

“I got done coaching basketball in February and it was a long season,” he said. “I had 500 calves on the farm and the winter was really rough. I was just worn out.”

So he made a commitment to work himself into better shape. He hit the gym, started working out and started watching what he ate.

Ewalt and his wife, Jamie Ewalt, farm in southwestern Iowa. They grow corn and beans on about 1,000 acres, feed 400 cattle – owned and custom. They operate Waubonsie Ridge Beef, a farm-to-market business with stores in Tabor and Glenwood, Iowa, and ion St. Louis.
