New Age Custom Farming, LLC

New Age Custom Farming, LLC, a Wisconsin-based small business limited liability company, provides crop harvesting, chopping, storage, and cover crop services to the USDA Agricultural Research Service as a prime contractor operating exclusively under total small business set-asides and full-and-open procurement, with 100% of recent awards flowing from a single federal customer.

The company, established in 2006 and headquartered in Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin, specializes in machine-based alfalfa and corn silage harvesting, chopping, merging, bagging, and haylage storage operations across hundreds of acres at the USDA-Dairy Forage Research Farm. NAICS concentration is heavily weighted to Crop Harvesting, Primarily by Machine (26 of 34 awards), with smaller pockets in soil preparation and corn farming. New Age Custom Farming competes across both total small business set-asides and unrestricted procurements; recent awards split between designated set-asides (such as the $758,587.50 May 2026 alfalfa harvesting purchase order) and full-and-open delivery orders placed against existing IDIQ vehicles.

Customer concentration is nearly complete. The USDA ARS Field Research Implementation and Information Delivery Midwest Area accounts for 32 of 34 awards and $2.9 million of $2.9 million in combined potential value (97% of award count, 100% of dollars), with a single additional award from the broader ARS organization. New Age Custom Farming holds two primary IDIQ vehicles with ARS: Indefinite Delivery Contract 12505B21D0006 (valued at $477,500 for alfalfa services, awarded August 2023, completion August 2028) and an earlier IDIQ valued at $598,950 for alfalfa mowing, chopping, and storage. Against these vehicles, the company has received 18 and 3 task orders respectively, ranging from roughly $19,000 to $107,500 per order. The May 2026 alfalfa harvesting purchase order represents a separate single-award contract valued at $758,587.50 with a five-year ordering period through April 2031.

Activity has been consistent but modest. The vendor received five awards in 2022, six in 2023, five in 2024, and three in 2025, with one award in 2026 to date. The recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal — one award with $96,000 combined potential value reaching completion. New Age Custom Farming operates as a direct prime contractor exclusively; the source contains no subcontract relationships. Work is performed at the Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin facility and covers approximately 1,550 acres of alfalfa across four annual cuttings and 160 to 400 acres of corn silage, depending on the task order.
