- Family Owned &
Operated - |
In 1975
Bill and Kathy Bruere started Bruere Farms and committed themselves to
farming America's heartland. Over the years, both their farming operation
and their family have grown. They have raised their two sons, William and
Stephen, in a traditional family farm atmosphere. William and Steve are
very involved in the farming operations and are committed to growing the
family farm. Bruere Farms is proud to still be family owned and operated.
Bill
Bill has been farming since 1975 after his father died. He is very
dedicated to farming as well as Pioneer. The two have complimented each
other very well. He keeps up on the very latest through Pioneer training
and CCA meetings, but can apply his hands-on experience from farming as
well. Bill raised his sons with the hope that some day one of them would
take over the farming operations. Now that his kids are grown he has
turned over a large portion of the farming operation to his son,
William, and now spends the bulk of his time as a Sales Rep. for
Pioneer. He has been selling for 22 years, and is also
CCA Certified. During the past 22 years Bill has acquired a great
amount of knowledge about agriculture as well as agronomy; both of which
he is able to use to further benefit his seed customers. Despite Bill's
full commitment to Pioneer sales, he is still able to escape and help
his son William in the field. With the family involvement in all of the
operations, when Bill is in the tractor, he is still only a phone call
away.
Kathy
Kathy grew up in near by Indianola where her father owned and operated
the local farm machinery business. While growing up, Kathy worked for
her father in many areas of the business.
After marrying Bill she became involved in the farm full time with her
husband. She currently does all of the bookkeeping for their farming and
trucking operations, as well as running the tractors when needed.
Kathy's biggest job though, is helping run the Pioneer warehouse and
coordinating the household activities.
William
While growing up, William developed a passion for farming. He always
followed his dad around and helped out in any way he could on the farm.
He has inherited his father's love for farming and is now farming some
of his own land. William is the proud father of Brianna, age 5. She
seems to have inherited her father's love of farming, as one of her
first words was "tractor".
William is currently seeking
land owners that are in need of his farming services. His heart has
always been with farming and he is looking to expand when opportunities
present themselves. He received a degree in Ag-Business from DMACC in
1997.
Steve
Steve
is the youngest son. He is 27 years old and graduated with a degree in
Marketing from the University of Northern Iowa. Steve helps out on the
farm in the spring and fall, but works primarily in the real estate
business. If you are interested in buying or selling land, please

the Peoples Company
website. Most recently Steve has been involved in locating sites for
ethanol facilities. You can view his latest project at
WestMetroRailPark.com. Steve’s wife, Nikki, pitches in around the
farm. Nikki works for Wells Fargo Financial in Des Moines.
