David Hafer

Senior Farm Manager

Farm Management/Real Estate Sales

Like all professionals with Farm-Land Strategies, David grew up working with his family’s farming operations. This experience included working with a very large farm in Mississippi—being 25,000 acre of corn, soybeans, and silage while hosting 8,000 head of cattle. Later on David transitioned into working with his grandfather’s Arkansas delta farm, growing rice and soybeans, again on a large scale--22,000 acres.

David enhanced this personal farm experience with a BS degree in AG Science from the University of Arkansas in 1997. During college, he worked across the entire state of Arkansas on its Extension Farms through the University of Arkansas Extension Service in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

Upon graduation from college David started his own farming company with 400 acres. By 2001 his farming operation had grown to 3500 acres of cotton, corn, rice, milo, beans, and wheat. He is still involved with this farm interests.

David understands management of the agriculture businesses not only from the production side, but also the perspective of the banking industry and ancillary business interests. He served as a crop consultant to Southern Bancor, responsible for recommending whether to increase loan amounts during the crop year. He has also owned and operated a custom cotton picking business.

As a member of the Arkansas National Guard, like Addison Taylor, in 2010 David set aside his farming interest in the United States to serve our country with the first Arkansas Agribusiness Development Team (ADT 01) in Afghanistan for one year.

Upon his return, he has joined Farm-Land Strategies as a licensed Arkansas Real Estate Agent and member of the American Society of Farm Managers & Rural Appraisers—currently obtaining accreditation.
