Joshua Manske: Back to the Farm after Pro Golf Career

Joshua Manske, a former professional golfer raised on a fifth-generation farm in north central Iowa, has returned to agriculture following the end of his golf career due to injury. Growing up in a family deeply rooted in farming and land stewardship, Manske maintained a connection to agriculture even while competing internationally. Today, he manages a diversified set of roles that include farming, farmland management, farm real estate, and participation in his family’s drainage business. His path reflects both the continuity of generational agriculture and the evolving, multi-faceted nature of modern farm livelihoods.
