One of the biggest "stars" on You Tube when it comes to the world of agriculture is Greg Peterson and his siblings, who call the state of Kansas home. The Peterson brothers videos have been seen millions of times since they began their effort to show that agriculture is cool. Peterson was a part of a Millenial panel in Phoenix at the Bayer Crop Science Ag Issues Forum.
Peterson is a 2013 Graduate of Kansas State University- and his interest in producing a video began in early 2012 when he observed that even his college friends had little understanding or appreciation of what being a farmer meant. As a result, that summer, Peterson talked his brothers and little sister into helping produce their first video called "I'm Farming and I Grow It." Posted on YouTube, it went viral, receiving over nine million views.
Since that time, they released six more parody videos as well as other informational videos about life on the farm. To date, the number of views for all of their videos has topped thirty five million.
Farm Director Ron Hays talked with Peterson about his work in telling the story of agriculture after his presentation at the Ag Issues Forum- and you can hear their conversation by clicking on the LISTEN BAR at the bottom of this story.
Hays asked Greg what the next project is. He laughed and said was confidential- but that it would have to do with animal well being and the fact that they take good care of their cattle.
