Meet Robert Groom:

Hi! I’m Robert Groom and I've been farming for 32 years. I grow hay, corn, soybeans, Registered Black Angus cattle and Border Leicester Sheep. When I'm not working on my farm I'm showing cattle. My favorite thing about being a farmer is working with my animals and others engaged in agriculture. I look to my dad as being my farming idol. He set an example of hard work, enterprise, initiative and independence of thought and action. I think that it's important that we get young people engaged in farming because we need to pass down the knowledge before it ends up vanishing.
