Meet: Brett Krug!
In a nutshell:
My family and I live in Secor, and I grew up South of El Paso where I have been farming for the past 7 years. My wife’s name is Jessica and we have a daughter, Alexis (9) and 3 boys, Lukas (7) Liam (5) and Jace (6months). I also am an independent seed dealer for Pfister, Proharvest and Nu-ag selling a full line up of corn, soybeans, small grains and cover crop seeds.
What drew you to the farming industry?
Ever since I was very young I couldn’t ever get enough of being around/on a farm or riding in the equipment. I have many family members that are farming now or have retired from farming. The more I was around agriculture the more I have developed a passion for it.
Why are you involved with Farm Bureau?
Making connections and developing relationships from near and far within the agriculture community. It’s also a great way to stay informed and up-to-date with the new challenges and issues that are always arising within agriculture.
