about

We’re Nathan and Amanda Fishback, the family behind A&N Fishback Acres and Fishback Family Farms. While both are connected, they each focus on different aspects of our operation—A&N Fishback Acres is the trucking and hauling side of the business, while Fishback Family Farms is dedicated to row crops and livestock. Our farm specializes in raising corn, soybeans, and swine, and we also offer drone spraying, custom farming, and farmland rental services.

Nathan is the heart of the operation—the man behind it all. Farming has been in his blood since childhood, and he’s hands-on every single day, making sure everything runs smoothly. Whether he’s in the fields, working with livestock, or managing the business side of things, he takes pride in leading the farm and ensuring its success. One of his greatest joys is watching our son, Clay, follow in his footsteps, working full-time on the farm and helping continue the legacy. Clay is hardworking and passionate, playing a key role in our daily operations. Our daughter, Kopelynn, may be small, but she’s already our little farmhand, always eager to be part of the action.

Amanda, originally from Georgia, is a full-time employee and farm wife, managing the accounting, overseeing swine operations, and caring for her own livestock. She plays an essential role in keeping the farm running smoothly and handling the business behind the scenes.

At Fishback Family Farms and A&N Fishback Acres, our motto is "Farming Made Simple." We believe in doing things the right way—efficiently, accurately, and with integrity. We value strong relationships with our landowners, seed dealers, and agricultural partners throughout Southeast Iowa. Supporting local businesses and helping other farmers succeed is just as important to us as growing our own operation.

This farm is more than just a business—it’s our family, our passion, and our way of life. We’re proud to be building something that can be passed down for generations to come.

testimonials

Our farming operation has had the pleasure of working with Nathan Fishback for many years. 10 years ago, rather than upgrading from a worn out planter, we hired Nathan Fishback to plant our soybeans. We wanted good, modern, well cared for equipment, and good operators! It has also been very important to us to get planted in a timely manner! We also really like the move to the 15 inch rows for the added weed control benefit! Year after year, they get our beans planted timely and their service well exceeds our expectations!

Rick Fulton (Fulton Farms)

Nathan Fishback farmed my land many years. I had a good relationship with him. He was always square with me. He has a way of getting along with people and has the skill to get the potential out of the land. He got the crops in and out, whatever the challenge.

Richard Stout

Nathan was our tenant several years. He was honest and hard working. He was a great help with the government paperwork. I would recommend him to any landowners.
