Family farm upbringing builds strong work ethic
Jacob Sutter is the younger son of Kenny and Leanne. Like other family members, he is actively involved in both crop and livestock production on the Sutter Family Farm near Pleasantville, Iowa.This former FFA member graduated from Ellsworth Community College with degrees in Swine Management and Farm Management.He thought about doing something else, but told me that nothing can beat farming. Living in the small, rural community and being a part of that is important to him. A member of the volunteer fire department, Jacob believes it is important to be involved in his community.
Jacob credits his upbringing on the family farm with building in him a strong work ethic.
The Sutter family exemplifies what it means to be “Doing it Right” on a family farm in Iowa. His was the second family farm we visited on the Coalition to Support Iowa’s Farmers “Doing it Right” Farm Tour.
