"Here We Grow" again_  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Nov 14, 2017 8:28 PM UTC  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Nov 14, 2017 8:28 PM UTC While many Americans are settling in for [the festive season](http://time.com/5023490/thanksgiving-stove-top-stuffing-pants/), preparing for Thanksgiving feasts and [holiday planning](http://www.extracrispy.com/drinks/4308/starbucks-holiday-cups-2017), it’s also another important season: harvest. Luckily, the [Midwestern farmer trio](http://www.kcci.com/article/here-we-grow-iowa-farmers-create-hilarious-nsync-parody/13529028) of the Behn Brothers are here to remind us of the work they put in out in their soy bean and corn fields [in “Here We Grow,”](https://www.facebook.com/thebehnbrothers/videos/1883477338336235/) a now-viral remake of the \*NSYNC classic song [“Here We Go.”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVeC%5Fy%5F310U) But this time, the Behn Brothers have co-opted the tune to describe their work in agriculture as they prep for the snows. “We were born / to grow corn / for the animals to eat, yes here we go now,” they sing in the homemade [music video](https://www.facebook.com/thebehnbrothers/videos/1883477338336235/), featuring lots of shots of giant tractors cruising through endless golden fields of ripened grain. They also do some choreographed dancing and singing together, with cobs of corn as microphones; very on-brand. For those viewers less-versed in the ways of agriculture, some of their lyrics might even be informational. “The soybeans in this field are dry and of good yield / it’s time to pick and take them to the grain bin,” they sing. “We work them all night long / until the dew sets on / then the stems get tough and we shut down for the night.” And now you know how soy bean harvesting works. The Iowa trio are apparently not new to the singing life; old videos even show them in cowboy hats [singing karaoke](https://www.facebook.com/thebehnbrothers/videos/2731655138992/). But if you want an insider view into the harvesting process, [they’ve got you covered](https://www.facebook.com/pg/thebehnbrothers/videos/?ref=page%5Finternal), too. It’s been a decently big year for yields in U.S. agriculture, with record-high [forecasts in soybean](https://www.nass.usda.gov/Newsroom/2017/08%5F10%5F2017.php) production, while corn is down about 7%, according to the USDA. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5023906/here-we-grow-boy-band/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5023906/here-we-grow-boy-band/"},"headline":"Farmers Went All Out to Recreate an NSYNC Classic for Harvest Season","datePublished":"2017-11-14T20:28:23.000Z","dateModified":"2026-06-24T06:56:42.306Z","description":"\"Here We Grow\" again","url":"https://time.com/5023906/here-we-grow-boy-band/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Agriculture","Music","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt93d8b0168c1d7a6d/6988e5d4e76ad234ce62ff2d/tractors-corn-field.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt93d8b0168c1d7a6d/6988e5d4e76ad234ce62ff2d/tractors-corn-field.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Agriculture Tech","caption":"Agriculture Tech","creditText":"Mardis Coers#102006—Moment Editorial/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5023906/here-we-grow-boy-band/","name":"Farmers Went All Out to Recreate an NSYNC Classic for Harvest Season"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"This Video Is No Longer Available","description":"\"Here We Grow\" again","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/fKodeUO6/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2026-06-23T15:00:44.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/fKodeUO6.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5023906/here-we-grow-boy-band/","duration":"PT10S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5023906/here-we-grow-boy-band/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
