What we actually do in Porter

multi-farm coordinated visits — several sections in one day

Porter is a town where the population sign undersells the actual demand. The town itself has under 200 people, but the ring of family farms and section acreages around it generates a steady stream of shelterbelt, grove, and pasture stump work that adds up to real days on the calendar. What makes Porter unique on our route is how neighbors coordinate. Farmers here talk to each other, and when we come out for one job we often finish the visit with two or three more farmers dropping by to ask if we can look at their shelterbelt while we're already there. We lean into that. If you're a Porter-area farmer with a stump list, and you have a rough sense of which of your neighbors also do, tell us up front — we'll build a single-day route that hits all of you and prices the whole day at a real per-stump discount. The alternative is us driving out from Marshall three separate times over three months at trip-rate each. Coordinating saves everyone real money. In-town Porter work is straightforward and typically joins one of these farm days.

The details

How multi-farm coordinated days save real money in Porter

A single stump call from Porter has the same fixed cost as one from Marshall — drive out, set up, one machine, one operator. The 30-minute drive from Marshall on MN-68, plus the setup, means single-stump Porter jobs price higher per stump than the same job in town.

But if we're coming out for one Porter farmer with 12 shelterbelt stumps, adding a second nearby farm with 6 stumps and a third with 3 to the same day essentially triples the productive work while adding only 20–30 minutes of driving between sites. Per-stump pricing on that combined 21 stumps can run 40–55% less than if the three farms each booked separately.

What we need to make it work: one farmer to be the point of contact, a rough list of neighbors with stump work waiting, and flexible dates so we can pick a day that fits everyone. We handle the routing and quote each farm separately based on their share of the day. Everyone pays only for their own stumps at the multi-farm rate.

This is one reason Porter-area farmers who talk to each other end up with the best stump-grinding prices in the county — coordination compounds.

Yes — that's some of the best-value work we do. If a few neighbors have stumps waiting, we'll batch the day and each farm pays only for their share at a real per-stump discount.
