Why This Farmer Bleeds Red: The Kruse Family Farm Experiences

Fourth Generation Farmer Loving His Red Combine
The team from the Polo, Illinois Birkey's Farm Store recently had a chance to meet with the Kruse family to check out their impressive Case IH collection on their family farm. Located just east of German Valley, Illinois, Bradley Kruse shares his family's legacy in the world of farming. He also discusses his family's history with Case IH equipment and Birkey's Farm store.
In this video, Bradley shares some of his farming story - the challenges, the rewards, and the importance of good advice and mentorship. Sticking with it, learning from others, and even working off the farm can all be valuable experiences.
Farming is in his blood, he's always loved it, even when I had to take other jobs to make ends meet. The best to part to him? Every year is a new beginning. You plant a seed, hope for rain, and pray for a good harvest. It's a rollercoaster, but so rewarding.
Berky's in Polo, Illinois is his go-to dealer. The salesman he purchased his combine from actually used to haul milk for his family when he was young! Small world, right?
Farming isn't always easy. He's had some tough times, but never gave up. His advice for those looking to be successful farmers? Don't give up either. Find a mentor, learn all you can, and don't be afraid to work off the farm to gain new skills.
The 8250 combine is just part of the family's farm equipment legacy. They've been farming using red Case IH tractors for four generations, all the way back to a 1939 H! They also raise cattle and grow crops like corn, soybeans, wheat, and alfalfa.
CNH Credit makes things easy for parts and financing, and being a fourth-generation farmer, there's a lot of history with red equipment in his family. He's raised cattle and crops for generations, and even though farming has its ups and downs, there's nothing quite like the feeling of a successful harvest.
