WLS Expands Farm Management & Real Estate Team

October 19, 2023

Please join us in welcoming Austin Hornstein, AFM to the Worrell Land Services team to serve as Farm Manager and Land Broker! Austin came on board in October 2023 to help us meet the needs of landowners and buyers in an expanded geographical area. Based out of Champaign County, Austin is strategically-located to help Worrell Land Services better cover counties beyond our current territory where opportunities to be of service have arisen in recent years. Existing clients will continue to be served by their existing WLS team members and will likely see no change in their daily work with us. That said, an expanded footprint for Worrell Land Services presents long-term advantages for new and existing clients alike.

Austin has developed a wealth of farm management and land real estate expertise for a diverse range of clients from previous roles at Murray Wise Associates LLC, First Mid Ag Services, and Hertz Farm Management Inc. Austin graduated cum laude with a Bachelor’s degree in Agribusiness from Illinois State University. He has also earned the Accredited Farm Manager (AFM) designation from the American Society of Professional Farm Managers & Rural Appraisers organization. He plans to work toward the Accredited Land Consultant (ALC) designation from the Realtors Land Institute in the coming years, as well. Austin was raised on the family grain farm his family still operates outside of Melvin, Illinois. Austin, his wife Allie, and their sweet pup Lexi currently reside in Champaign.
