Bormann's ag background encompasses all aspects

As he sat in the corner of his exceptionally well organized, meticulously clean, brightly-lit, energy-efficient and recently remodeled farm shop, Peter Bormann, rural Livermore, described his farm background and experiences leading to his current career as a Pioneer seed dealer.
“I was raised just down the road, not far from here, where my parents Mark and Sue Bormann still live. Our family farm grew grain and raised cattle. I have always loved farming,” Peter said.
“When I grew up in the 1990s, we didn’t always have a lot, and we learned to work hard doing anything we could. It became ingrained in my mind to try everything I could do. I love to work,” he said.
As a youngster, Peter participated in 4-H and FFA, and chose to skip school sports in high school at Bishop Garrigan in Algona, because there was “always farm work to do at home.” That work included harvest, feeding cattle, clearing snow and cleaning livestock facilities.
He plans to keep farming, hopefully with the opportunity to farm more.
