The Lovett family has owned our farm for more than 70 years. Dr. Dean Lovett was a farm boy who loved the land. He felt that if something happened to him, that our mother, Dorothy, would be able to live there and raise enough to feed us. Dean came to the conclusion that he wasn’t as good a farmer as he thought and wisely turned the farm management over to professional hands.

Lee Beneke and Dave Wessling have managed the farm for over 40 years. We have never had a reason to question their integrity or skills and look to the future with confidence.

The Lovett farm will remain in the family into the 5th generation by the grace of God and the management expertise of Dave Wessling and Iowa Land Management and Real Estate Company.”  -Janice from Oregon

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support and concern in managing the farm property which was inherited from my mother in 2000. It’s been a great benefit having the guidance and expertise of your knowledge over the years. I feel you have the best interest in what is good for the land in mind. The assistance and discussion on the different ways to resolve issues that arise over time are a great comfort. Also, the timeliness of your responses is very much appreciated.”  – Marilyn in Iowa

We have been associated with Dave Wessling for approximately seven years. During that time, he has been our Farm Manager thereby freeing us of any worries or concerns about our farm property. This is a great benefit and relief to us as we are out of state and cannot be in Iowa often to take care of the property. We find him to be very knowledgeable and extremely competent in taking care of our property. Thank you, Dave, for the fine job you are doing.”  – Kay from North Carolina

“After 45 years as a satisfied client of Iowa Land Management and Real Estate Company and its predecessor, we do not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing farm management services. Dave Wessling, President, is a professional manager as evidenced by his goal to keep the land in good shape and yet meet the investment goals of the owner and to keep good renters. One family has rented the same land for 58 years. Each month we receive a detailed financial report with a personal note from Dave pertaining to the farm. We always feel comfortable calling the company if we have a question. We have been able to enjoy our Florida retirement because we have no concerns about the farm and can enjoy the income.”  – Lucille from Florida
