New branding for a family farm in a small community

Webster Farms

We run a mid size farm that is family owned and operated out of a very small community in Nebraska. We currently grow corn and soybeans, but we are exploring the possibility of shifting to an organic and/or non-GMO operation, and we're creating marketing materials for potential partners and buyers. Ultimately corn and soybeans are the core of what we do today, but our products will likely shift down the road to include other organic crops, soy oil, other vegetables, etc. Our buyers could be anything from other farmers to big companies like Dannon who may want to use our products to feed their cattle or as a key ingredient for tofu, soy milk, etc. Ideally we'd like to be able to use an icon from our logo on all sorts of packaging, including food labels.

1) We definitely like color, especially green.
2) We'd like to de-emphasize barns; we don't really use barns in our operation, so a standalone barn won't work for us for the entire logo.
3) We like references to corn/soybeans, but we'd prefer a less explicit reference so that if our brand takes us to different crops, the logo will still apply. (Also, please note that we do not grow wheat).

Green and yellow aren't required here, but I do like that they represent the color of corn/soybeans, earth/sun, growth/light. But I'm open to suggestion!

At this point we are still working on our business plan, so the logo and images shouldn't be too specific to anything so that the logo/brand can grow with our business. Ultimately we hope this will reflect:
1) family farm operation in a very small town; local community
2) healthy (indirectly implying organic/non-gmo without explicitly naming them)
3) professional
4) simplicity

Ideally we'd also like to be able to pull out an image (without the text) and be able to easily apply it in other areas of our brand, so the image would be distinct from the text. But we're also open to suggestion on this one too. :-)

I like the image of this one: http://duckdogdesign.com/wordpress/…_Color.jpg

I also like the simplicity of something like this: https://thumb9.shutterstock.com/dis…599362.jpg

I really like the pop of color with this: https://thumb7.shutterstock.com/dis…464949.jpg
