Strengthening Rural Agriculture Through Expanded Resources & Local Engagement

The KKAC Organization has been a leading force in promoting private land ownership and protection of these lands in the interest of building generational wealth. Founded by the Peer Farm Group (Wilbur Peer, Sr., Andre Peer, Rickey Peer, Alvin Peer, Sr., and Edgar Peer, Jr.) KKAC has transformed from a rural youth education program into a nationally recognized powerhouse supporting landowners and rural communities.

During a youth group tour of a Lee and Phillips County farm owned by the Peer Farm Group, when asked, "Where do string beans come from?" a young lady replied, "Out of a can!" The Group recognized the younger generations' need for agricultural knowledge and understanding. This inspired the Group to begin filling this gap and opening the youth's minds to a wealth of knowledge to sustain generations to come, thus creating The KKAC Organization.

KKAC swiftly expanded to conduct outreach to farmers, ranchers, and landowners on estate planning, land management, heirs' property issues, and wealth-building opportunities through USDA-NRCS programs.
