Steve Bruere has transformed Peoples Company from a single small-town real estate firm into a national powerhouse with licenses in 24 states and offices in major agricultural markets throughout the country. The company’s core businesses — appraisal, land management, an award-winning auction division, and a coast-to-coast brokerage business — are enhanced by cutting-edge initiatives such as DST Farms, a first-of-its-kind farmland DST platform, mAgma, the first US-based blockchain farmland investing platform, PC Ag Tech, which invests in ag-based business incubators and early stage ag technology companies, and Alternative Equity Advisors, which facilitates the acquisition and management of farmland assets. Steve also created Middlebrook Farm. A project of Diligent Development, Middlebrook has enjoyed rave reviews since breaking ground as Iowa’s first agrihood.

Steve is a national leader in sustainable agriculture and helped launch Leading Harvest, the first comprehensive sustainability standard for US farmland. Each January, he hosts The Land Investment Expo in downtown Des Moines.

Steve and his family live in the Greater Des Moines area. He remains involved with his family’s farm and grows corn, soybeans, and organic produce under the Middlebrook Organics label.

Testimonials
”Considering the logistics of those involved...and the ”window” from contact to closing...nearly an impossible request! 

The owner lives in Missouri, the Farm Manager is leaving Iowa in 2 days to spend the winter in Texas.

He called Peoples Company to arrange ”Walking the farm with an Agent”. Within 2 hours of my phone call to the Manager, I received a phone call saying ”We are standing on the farm!” I WAS IMPRESSED!

Thanks to e-mails, conference calling, FAX, etc. Kenny arranged the Auction. In less than 2 months, mission accomplished with no problems - Money was in the bank!”

” I would recommend Peoples Co. especially our Agent Kenny. From listing to selling the house, he always kept me informed and explained in detail what was happening. The house was sold in a few weeks. Thank you Kenny!!!”

”Kenny Herring, with his positive attitude became quickly knowledgable of our family farm. He immediately became acquainted with those associated with our family farm corporation. He spoke with respect of other realtors as they became involved with the sale process. His visuals were extraordinary and Kenny was relentless in his pursuit of finding buyers of interest from in and out of the state of Iowa. 

His consistent communication skills kept me informed of the sale progress. When sales were down, Kenny acquired a price that pleased the land owners and all those involved with the sale. You will be fortunate to have Kenny Herring as your Realtor. Kenny Herring is the Realtor to call in selling your farm”.
