I’m Farming and I Grow It
Really? Does it get much catchier than that? I bet you have the LMFAO song stuck in your head now but good luck remembering the old lyrics after you’ve heard the much funnier and pro-ag version.
This video has been shared by about every ag blogger on the face of the Earth but I was at a conference this whole week and am behind the times (as usual) and am just now getting to it. So without further ado, I give you I’m Farming and I Grow It.
Why is this video so awesome? Let me count the ways:
1. The Peterson boys are from KANSAS. I don’t need to remind you of my undying faith, love and support of all things Kansas. So proud of our rich, traditional heritage of agriculture and smart kids!
2. The video has over 800,000 views. Holy crap – can you say viral? UPDATE: THE VIDEO NOW HAS OVER 1,000,000 VIEWS! Update again: 1.6 million views in three days!
3. It was featured on Good Morning America and also on http://www.cnn.com/!
4. There are over 1500 comments and from what I could tell, only one negative one. Surprise surprise making fun of their cut-off shirts. The rest are thanking the Peterson boys for bringing attention to farming and for their hard work producing food.
5. The Kansas City Star featured an article about them. Good work boys.
6. Another update: the Peterson Farm Bros are on Facebook so go like them and Greg Peterson is on Twitter (@GregPeterson33) – they are headed to New York for Fox News!
Is it stuck in your head now? Good. I also hope that the visions of hard working farmers and ranchers is stuck there too.
Way to go Kansas boys!
Until next time,

I wish the Health Care Reform hadn't become such a big deal in the last 24 hours! I think the Peterson boys would be getting a lot more attention!

Love it! Creative Kansas Farm Boys! I'm married to a farmer and couldn't be prouder!
I am super happy for their success but moreso for the great PR they are giving agriculture and especially KANSAS!
