In an effort to engage consumers in farm and ranch activities, the U.S. Farmers & Ranchers Alliance launched a series of videos.
Titled “How To Farm,” the videos depict how four farmers tackle big jobs. Hosted by blogger mom Kelly Snyder, the videos highlight what happens—and why—on four Midwest farms, addressing new technology and common misconceptions about food production.
Snyder explains how 1,200 cows are milked, how to care for 7,000 pigs, how to use trash to help crops grow and how to gather 50,000 eggs a day.
“People know what farmers generally do, but not exactly how they do it. The opportunity to spend time on a farm alongside a farmer is not one that most people get,” Randy Krotz, CEO of USFRA, said. “This new online video series brings the farm to your living room, office, kitchen, classroom, mobile device—anywhere you are. Americans have so many questions about food production and the first videos in this series can help address some of those by showing just how farmers are growing and raising food.”
