The Peterson Farm Bros are made up of Greg (34), Nathan (31), and Kendal (28) Peterson. We are brothers who farm together with our families (pictured below) between Lindsborg, KS and Assaria, KS. We produce entertaining and educational videos on our YouTube channel and post farming and video updates to our social media pages (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat). Ever since we began producing content, we have realized a need to inform people about what we do in farming and in agriculture as a whole. There are many misconceptions about modern day farmers and we feel led to help correct some of those misconceptions. Aside from our production on social media, we travel around the country to speak/entertain. We also blog about misunderstood topics in agriculture and open up our farm for tours, weddings, and overnight stays on Airbnb. Through all of this we hope to educate the general public on where their food comes from and what a real Midwest family farm looks like!
Our farm is a 5th generation family farm located between Lindsborg, KS and Assaria, KS in the United States of America. Our ancestors immigrated from Sweden and homesteaded in 1882 and we still farm on the same land today. We have 3 farmsteads that we operate from (pictured below). We primarily raise beef cattle (about 1,000 head at a time) in our backgrounding feeder operation. We also have a small cow/calf herd. We grow corn, alfalfa, and forage sorghum as feed for our cattle and we grow wheat, milo, soybeans, and sunflowers for cash crops on about 2,500 acres. We also custom farm around 1,000 acres. We have worked on our farm with our family our entire lives, and enjoy hosting tours of our farm. There are many videos on our YouTube channel that show what we do on the farm!
This program is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency, through federal funds provided by the National Endowment for the Arts, Illinois Humanities, and the Doris and Ken Charitable Trust.
