Kaisonn Koester
Born and raised in the rural parts of small town Du Bois, NE; Growing up on his family’s farm helped instill a strong work ethic and a love for agriculture at a very young age. Kaisonn took that work ethic and passion with him to Northwest Missouri State University where he graduated with a B.S. in Agricultural Business in May 2021. Kaisonn returned home to put that knowledge to use on his family farm, as well as continue to learn from his father and grandfather. Farming is Kaisonn's way of life, and he loves what he gets to do within the agriculture industry. It has taught him the true meaning of hard work, honesty, integrity, and how to be a steward of the land. These strengths allow Kaisonn to see eye to eye with others within the agriculture industry, and bring the best service to all of his clients. Feel free to get in touch with Kaisonn for your auction needs, he would appreciate the opportunity!
