He calls it “Cogen’s Farm” and David Cogen delights in explaining how he already has selected the corn variety he will plant this spring after careful research and discussion with an agronomist. Cogen’s Farm is a little different from others in Iowa. It’s just 20 acres near Bondurant, a mere fraction of what the U.S. Department of Agriculture says is the average-size Iowa farm: 359 acres. And Cogen (theunlockr) also isn’t your typical farmer. He’s from Brooklyn ― not the one located between Des Moines and Iowa City on Interstate 80, but the one in New York famous for Coney Island and a bridge bearing its name. With an assist from friends at John Deere, Cogen will try his hand at farming for the first time, attempting to profitably raise a crop and bring it to market all while sharing the experience on his social media accounts as he progresses through the growing season.
