No-till Producer, Hugoton, KS

Nick Vos was born in South Africa where he grew up on a vegetable farm in the Limpopo Province. Moved to the USA in 2006, became a US citizen in 2011, and currently resides in Hugoton, Kansas, with his wife Johanna, and their two girls Gianna and Nikayla. Nick farms a multitude of row crops, cover crops, and his wife Johanna raise Dorper sheep on about 900 acres that they rotate between cash crops and forages. He also owns and operates two Ag retail companies, that focus on high-yielding corn and the other one on specialty inputs and cover crops.

In the film’s most heart-wrenching scene, Vos watches through one-way glass as Chamusso is placed in a room where his wife waits gagged and ruffed-up.
