Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig will present the Wergin Good Farm Neighbor Award to the Tim and Cindy Kaldenberg Family of Monroe County on Thursday, July 3. The presentation will take place during a ceremony, beginning at 11 a.m., at their family farm near Albia.
Tim and Cindy Kaldenberg purchased their first farm in 1995, creating their own legacy of multigenerational family farmers. Today, Kaldenberg Farms also includes their son Layne, his wife Ashley, and their child Troy, who represents the family’s eighth generation of farmers. Their daughter, Lauren, works for U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley in Washington, D.C., and remains deeply connected to the family’s agricultural legacy. Tim’s parents, Tom and Twilah Kaldenberg, are also involved in the operation. The farm grows corn, soybeans, and hay and raises cattle, including both a cow-calf and feedlot enterprise. Layne and Ashley also operate Kaldenblooms, a flower farming business.
