The Peterson Farm Brothers released a sequel to their famed YouTube video “We are farming and we grow it!” that was published in June, 2012 and has had 7,726,105 views to date. On Tuesday, the brothers released another YouTube video dubbed “Farmer Style” a parody of “Gangnam Style.” It’s still early, but it appears that their second video is gaining popularity.

One of the three brothers, Greg Peterson is an active member if Kansas State Agricultural Communicators of Tomorrow (ACT) Chapter, a national organization that seeks to cultivate agricultural communication skills among its members. The professional development opportunities available through NACT has fostered Greg’s passion to promote agriculture through engaging in communication mediums such as YouTube.

The Peterson Brothers are a good example of how one can communicate and engage wide audiences on a platform such as YouTube in a fun and exciting way. Congratulations to the Peterson’s and Farms.com wishes them much successes!
