Kevin & Kim founded K&K Kohls, LLC in 2022, but it didn’t start there! Each of our families have been raising crops and cattle for generations. Kevin’s ancestors came from Germany in the late 1800’s and began farming in southern Kansas while Kim’s family emigrated from Sweden in 1865, arriving in North-Central Kansas in 1872. They began to farm shortly after. This makes Kevin and Kim 5th/6th generation Kansas farmers.

Kevin & Kim aren’t only improving the land and raising crops; they also are raising a family of three children who are excited to get their hands dirty on a daily basis!

Kevin grew up on a production farming operation in southern Kansas, and later attended Kansas State University, majoring in Ag Engineering, with a minor in agronomy and emphasis in ag business. Six years later he attended KSU again, earning a master in agribusiness. Kevin also spent several years in research and development with John Deere Global Crop Harvesting Product Development Center in Illinois. Later, he returned to Kansas where he is actively farming and stays in-tune with engineering through a position with AGCO Corporation.

Kim also grew up on a crop and livestock operation. She attended College of the Ozarks to gain a degree in horticulture and agronomy. She has five years of production greenhouse experience and interned at Missouri Botanic Garden as well. She went on to gain her masters from Kansas State University in agronomy with a focus on plant physiology. Her masters research was on soybean nodulation. Kim worked as a district agronomist for K-State Research and Extension for three years. She also served four years as a director on the Kansas Soybean Association. She then transitioned to full time at home as mother and K&K Kohls partner.
