Aman family
The Aman family farm was established in 1929. Bryan’s great grandpa, Willibald, raised sheep – 80 at one point – milked cows and raised crops. Bryan’s grandpa, Michael, milked cows and raised hogs and chickens. Bryan’s dad, James, milked cows, raised hogs and crop farmed.
Currently, the family raises beef cattle and operates a Pilgrim's Pride broiler barn. The Amans also grow corn, soybeans, oats and hay.
