I'm so excited about this post, I got the idea from my Dad. He was recently at a farm conference and got to briefly meet one of the stars of this post!
Say Hello to the Peterson brothers!
Their farm is a 5th generation family farm near Assaria, KS which was settled by their ancestors in the 1800s. They primarily raise beef cattle for their feedlot operation, but they also grow cash crops. It is truly a beautiful family farm by every definition!
Greg, Nathan, and Kendal started making fun educational videos about their family farm back in 2011. They wanted to address the many misconceptions about modern farming. The first song parody they did was in June 2012 entitled "I'm Farming and I Grow It" (parody of LMFAO - I'm Sexy and I Know It), the video went viral reaching over 5 million views in over 200 countries in 2 weeks!
I think what these three have done is incredible! They managed to reach their audience perfectly, in a way that was humorous, fun, and also very insightful. Everyone that I have watched this video with not only laughs and enjoys it, but asks me questions about farming afterwards!
I know how hard it can be to get younger generations interested in farming, and how difficult it is to explain the importance of sustainable farming to city folks. The Peterson Brothers videos really hit home for me as an accurate, inspiring, and unbiased portrayal of what modern farming can be.
Peterson Brothers (and family) your videos are inspiring and demonstrate that there is hope not only for young farmers to find success but also for others to develop a new found appreciation for everything that farmers do for our beautiful world.
Thank you for sharing your passion!
