Favorite Farmer Entry: Bryce Krull

My story of my favorite farmer is not an easy one to tell because he is my father, and he is no longer with us. My father Brian Krull of Lake Mills, Wis. was the most dedicated and driven father, farmer, friend, brother, husband I have ever seen in my 20 years of life! Growing up with him by my side and instilling my sisters and myself with the drive and passion for agriculture has truly changed my life. 

Brian breed numerous excellent cow families, growing record-breaking crop yields, and raising an even more outstanding family is why this farmer is easily my favorite. Brian had a passion for agronomy and working with the land. He truly enjoyed being out in the field and caring for the land that God had given him to take care. Brian was a member of the Lake Mills FFA and 4-H growing up and had lived in Lake Mills all his life caring for his family’s farm with his family and continuing on with tradition to raise his family on the farm.

Brian was not only dedicated to his farm and family but also his community and church. A member of the Lake Mills Moravian Church as well as the Lake Mills FFA Alumni, Bowling team, Aztalan Cemetery President, and served as President and Board Member to the Wisconsin Holstein Association. Brian never cared for himself first, family was always first in his life. People still talk about how when they would see Brian he would never talk about the great crops, cows, or new position or award Brian had received it was always the kids and his wife Cindy he talked about. A farmer who truly has his priorities in the right places was Brian Krull.

I have never and will never meet another farmer who can change so many people in such a short time of life. Brian still remains to be my favorite farmer although he is no longer caring for the land that God gave him. Brian was taken doing what he loved where he loved to do it. He died during a farm accident on the family farm on August 26, 2010.

Myself (his son) and my mother and sisters continue on his footsteps to ensure we don’t lose the passion and values he gave to us. With Brian now looking down to us and guiding us to the right path, he remains my favorite farmer and the favorite farmer of all who have known him.
