Pete Kapustka
Pete is a middle child from a large farm family from Barnum, Iowa, who looks forward to challenges. A 1986 Ag Bus Iowa State grad, who could have graduated in three years but took advantage of summer and in-school job opportunities. Pete worked with the Ag Engineering Department on a water quality project, counseled college students at church part time, worked two summers as spot labor for two farm operations around Ames, umpired softball/baseball games while attending summer school, and was part of a concrete crew that built silos for a local co-op.
Following the death of his father, Pete farmed 1987-1992. He “retired” from farming and worked in a variety of capacities over the next 30+ years: co-op salesman and location manager, seed corn/soybeans district sales manager, worked for Climate (before they were Climate), worked for two adjuvant and nutritional fertilizer companies. He also spent three years at AgriSecure. He spent a year working in Ukraine, spent 15 years as a CCA, and holds an Iowa Real Estate License.
In 2020, Pete “un-retired” and now farms a 105-acre organic farm in New Glarus, WI (four hours from his Fort Dodge home). Pete and his wife, Renee of 30+ years, live in Fort Dodge and have four children and eight grandchildren.
