Mike and Carole’s farm is located in Watertown, Minnesota and began as a partnership with Carole’s father in 1975. The farm then included 50 laying hens, cows, multiple crops and later swine. In 1992 the farm moved away from the hog operation and focused on its dairy enterprise by adding a 4-step up flat parlor. Today, the farm has seen a large expansion since its beginnings with much of its success coming from the family oriented atmosphere on the Pierson farm. Through the recovering stages of Mike’s heart attack 7 years ago, the Pierson children’s help became critical to the farm’s prosperity.
Off the farm, Carole works full time for the Farm Service Agency and sings in the church choir. Mike is an avid fisherman and hunter and active in the American Legion Post 357. Both are heavily involved in the local and regional FFA, 4-H committees and are active alumni of the Watertown-Mayer FFA.
