RIOCHMOND, Va. — This December, Virginia Farm Bureau’s Real Virginia television program will highlight Fairfax County as part of its County Close-up segment.

Each month, the feature highlights a different Virginia county and provides an in-depth look at the area from an agricultural perspective. Burke Moeller, video producer for Farm Bureau, interviewed local farmers and others to explore the role agriculture plays in the county, which sectors are most prevalent, and how the industry is changing.

The most recent Census of Agriculture, conducted in 2017, found Fairfax had a total of 117 farms on 5,937 acres, and the market value of all agricultural products sold that year was more than $1.2 million. Crops account for 81% of all farm income, with the major plantings being hay and forage, Christmas trees, grapes and vegetables. Commodities like livestock, poultry and other animal products make up the remaining 19%.

Moeller can be available for an interview to discuss the segment and filming in Fairfax. He previously lived in the area and worked in the Washington, D.C., television market at several local stations, including WRC-TV, the NBC-owned and -operated affiliate, and WJLA News Channel 8. If interested, contact Moeller at 804-297-5646.

Real Virginia focuses on Virginia agriculture with a consumer audience in mind. The program airs nationwide at 3:30 p.m. on the first Saturday of each month on RFD-TV on Dish Network and DirecTV, and on selected cable outlets around the state. It airs weekly on WBRA digital channel 15.2, WHRO Norfolk, WVVA Bluefield, and WTKR Norfolk, and on the first and third weekends of each month on WVIR Charlottesville and WRLH Richmond.

Watch Real Virginia anytime online at youtube.com/user/VirginiaFarmBureau.

With 132,000 members in 88 county Farm Bureaus, VFBF is Virginia’s largest farmers’ advocacy group. Farm Bureau is a non-governmental, nonpartisan, voluntary organization committed to protecting Virginia’s farms and ensuring a safe, fresh and locally grown food supply.
