Have You Hugged a Farmer Today?
This is a piece you’ll want to share with your non-farming friends, your customers, and maybe just keep on your refrigerator to remind you of how important you are.

After receiving a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science from Kansas State University, Greg made his living for several years on cattle ranches and feedlots from Colorado, to Missouri to Texas and Oklahoma. He then moved with his wife, Ann, son, Tanner, and two daughters, Megan and Ashley, to a farm in east central Kansas and began a row crop farming and cattle operation. About 12 years ago he started buying meat goats and began to grow his herd with the occasional help of his son Tanner. In a typical year, Greg will have more than 600 commercial does kidding, along with raising corn, soybeans, wheat, hay and cattle.
