About Kevin Matthews

My wife and I own and operate Matthews Family Farms of North Carolina, Inc., Precision Nutrient Management, Inc., and Deep Creek Grain, Inc. in East Bend and Yadkinville N.C. Prior to farming full-time, I earned an Associate Degree in Electronic Engineering that has been a huge asset in my farming operation.

I spend a tremendous amount of time implementing and testing new technologies and test plots with a focus on no-till conservation and irrigation management. These practices have blessed Matthews Family Farms of NC, Inc. with numerous high yield awards and state records in corn and soybeans from no-till dryland to irrigated crops. Our success with irrigation began with center pivots early on, and now with many acres of subsurface drip “SDI” irrigation.

The SDI success along with non-irrigated no-till yields has created many opportunities to teach others through speaking engagements all over the country. From small to large field day groups, multiple presentations at the Commodity Classic, and the Ag PhD Field Day along with onsite test plots in Baltic S.D., I have enjoyed showcasing our successes and the passion we have for improving.

I have learned so much over the span of my career in farming and I am excited to be a part of the XtremeAg community so I can share all of my knowledge and work with individuals who are also working hard and trying to build a better farm and a better life for themselves.
