Farmers Rock the Barn With ‘Farmer Rock Anthem,’ And People Just Can’t Stop Dancing to It

By Andrew Alpin, 18 May 2022

It’s true that farming is labor-intensive and necessitates a large workforce. People say that individuals who work hard enjoy themselves more. These farm boys know how to get down and dirty in the field. Despite the arduous effort, they put into their grueling occupation, it’s evident that they still enjoy themselves while doing it.

Meet the Peterson Farm Bros.

Greg, Nathan, and Kendal Peterson make up the Peterson Farm Bros. However, these three brothers are just a small portion of the overall family, but they are the ones that have taken the Internet by storm with their dance moves.

They love making parodies of music videos.

The brothers enjoy creating parodies of popular music videos, but they make them about farming, chores, and regular farm life, which is a topic that not many people are familiar with. Their videos are entertaining and appealing, but they also show their viewers a side of farming that most people don’t see or know about.

They collaborate with similar channels and nearby farms to produce good-quality videos.

When it comes to educating the public about farming, they often collaborate with nearby farms or other similar channels in their home state of Kansas. They believe that by sharing their experiences, they may be able to inspire or educate others about what it’s like to live in rural America.

Singing about what farm life is like is what grabbed people’s attention.

With over 1.5 million views, the boys changed the words to LMFAO’s hit song ‘Party Rock Anthem’ in one of their most viral videos. They named their version “Farmer Rock Anthem,” and it is one of the most trending videos on their channel.

They cleverly changed the lyrics to be descriptive of farming. Here’s what their version’s lyrics sound like- “Head up, head down/ Watch the reel go round and round.”

And- “All the farmers in the field tonight (fill that truck up)/ Everybody just has a good time (fill that truck up).”

Their family members are also featured in their videos.

They begin with a running man on a couple of combines in the field that grabs your attention, and then they start singing and dancing all over the farm. Their family members are also featured in the videos with occasional appearances in scenes. In one scene with their Dad, one line goes like this- “On the farm it’s the spot/ hanging with my dad/ we work a lot.”

The parody video actually shows you what farmers and farming does for society.

The video shows how responsible farmers are and how diligently they perform their everyday tasks. But it also shows viewers where the vast majority of the food on your table and in your shopping aisles come from and how it’s produced. The brothers have appeared in barns, fields, grocery stores, and even at home to do this.

The brothers display all of their farm equipment, vehicles, and animals they work with.

Don’t let the singing and dancing distract you from the rest of the presentation. The vastness of the area and the length of time it takes to plow it, are both evident from the aerial views of the fields. Afterward, they show off the creatures they work with. They show off their tractors and combine harvesters. Display the wide range of crops, of course.

Towards the end, they even show their neighboring farm families and their lands as well.

The best part of the video is near the finish, where they dedicate some scenes to their neighbors and acquaintances who are also farmers. It’s not uncommon to see babies and small children working alongside their fathers and grandfathers in the family business. If you haven’t already watched the video, watch the whole video and learn what life on a farm is really like with the help of this fun song!

They even created a parody of “Gangnam style” named- “Farmer Style.”

More than 16 million people have heard their other parody of Psy’s smash hit “Gangnam Style,” called “Farmer Style.” Just like in their “Farmer Rock Anthem” video, the three brothers perform and sing about the importance of farming and agriculture on their tractors, in the fields, and with their cattle in their Gangnam style parody video. A good message in a hilarious song!

Besides making entertaining music parodies, they also create good educational videos about farm life.

While the Peterson brothers’ song videos are extremely entertaining, they create other videos that show a more somber side to farm life and labor. Grass baling, calf feeding, planting, harvesting fodder, wheat, and applying manure are just a few of the tasks covered in nine educational clips on their channel. The Peterson family’s “Life on the Agricultural” series features five additional videos depicting the Peterson family’s seasonal farm activities from January through May.

The Peterson brothers have been invited to perform around the United States.

It has been an honor for the brothers to be able to share their passion for agriculture with the world through their “farm fame.” A film has been made with the help of Kansas’ Agriculture Department, and they’ve been invited to perform their songs like ‘Farmer Rock Anthem’ and others around the United States.
