After graduating from Iowa State University — Adam in May 2022 and Alex in December 2023 — the two brothers returned home to join their parents, Tom and Michelle, in the family farming operation. Adam, 25, holds a BA in ag business with a minor in entrepreneurship, and Alex, 23, holds a BA in ag studies.
