“We are thankful every day for the opportunity to work together as a family, to offer these exceptional products and genetics, and have been blessed with the chance to carry on the wonderful tradition of farming and raising purebred Limousin cattle in Iowa. Like Theodore Roosevelt once said, “I do not believe there was ever a life more attractive than life on a cattle farm.” I could not agree more and am blessed to live the way we live.”
Boyer Family Farms – Kaitlyn Boyer – 2017 Award Winner Weldon, IA
“Farming has been my dream as long as I can remember. Although my farming journey has not all been roses, it’s been the biggest influential factor in shaping me to be the person I am today. We are proud to be a family farm.”
Jeff & Barb Hansen Family Farm – 2017 Award Winner Dallas Center, IA
“I feel like I am writing this in more appreciation of my wonderful husband, Scott. He is such a great steward of the land, a giving person and promoter of how caring and hard-working farming families are. He and my son have Instagram pages where they are always posting videos and pictures showing what our lives are like on a daily basis and educating people about farming.”
