Growing Up On the Farm
From sunrise chores to sunset rides, growing up on the farm isn’t just a way of life
It’s the foundation of resilience, hard work, and family tradition.

where lessons come from dirt roads and dreams are built with calloused hands.
For 50 years, Kubota has been part of that story.
Supplying the tools that helped shape generations, and powering the legacy that continues to grow
one season, one family, one future at a time.
