Faith in God. Love of family. Commitment to serve others. These are the principles the Frerichs family live by.

“We all share strong feelings about these principles and strive to live by them,” explains Kent Frerichs, a third-generation Wilmot farmer and former agricultural education instructor/ FFA adviser and state legislator.

Currently, Kent and his wife, Faye, a registered nurse, help out on the farm as much as possible. Aaron, 41, and Jason, 34, work full-time on the farm, raising spring wheat, corn, soybeans and a cow/ calf herd. Ryan, 31, works full-time off the farm, owns some cattle and spends days off helping his brothers. Miranda and her husband, Mark, live in Barnesville, MN, along with their children, Noah, Nate, Nic and Ava. The couple is actively involved in their church, school and community. Miranda is completing a Masters Degree in Counseling.
