Stories from the Wheat Farm-- The Peters Family has A Passion for the Land in Oklahoma
Mon, 05 Oct 2020 09:07:33 CDT
U.S. wheat farm families grow six distinct classes of wheat across the diverse landscape of the United States. Those farmers take great care in producing the highest quality wheat in the most sustainable ways possible to honor their family legacies and to ensure greater value for their customers at home and abroad. Behind the world's most reliable supply of wheat are the world's most dependable people.
This is The Peters Family:
Peters Farms is a family-owned operation that was started when Michael Peters' great-great grandfather homesteaded a piece of land in central Oklahoma in the 1880s. Today, Michael farms with his father, Fred Peters, and his son Tyler.
They grow hard red winter (HRW) wheat and graze cattle on some of that crop over the late fall and winter. Linda Peters, Michael's wife, is a teacher and church musician who remains an active participant in the farm operations.
