Welcome to Dave Reynolds’ Farms. It is built on a long heritage of farming. Dave’s great-grandparents, George Washington and Mammy Reynolds, settled on their farm in Kuna, Idaho in the 1920s. His grandparents, Benjamin and Evelyn Reynolds, then farmed that acreage. His parents, Dale and Mary Reynolds, had a 40-acre farm while his father was part owner of Aluma Glass. When Dave was a sophomore in high school, his family moved to an 80-acre farm. A few years after college, Dave and Karla began running the 80-acre farm in Kuna. Tyler and Jessica, two of their children, have also joined the family operation.

Today, the family raises a wide variety of crops including alfalfa hay and seed, sweet corn seed, silage corn seed, grain corn seed, grass seed, wheat and barley seed, sugar beets, and beans. They also have feeder cattle, pigs and a small dairy operation.

Their passion for farming is present throughout the whole family. Their children have all held FFA officer positions and Dave has served on the FFA Advisory Board. All of the kids are University of Idaho graduates and have direct ties back to agriculture.

They have weathered seed company bankruptcies and droughts, which is why they expanded their operation to raising livestock as well as crops. In the end, Dave believes that farming’s best quality is that it “grows really great kids.”
