About the Ag & Culture Video Series
The Ag & Culture video series provides viewers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the day-to-day operation of a given farm or agribusiness. The videos are created to educate consumers by highlighting how the agriculture industry works – not just where food comes from, but the families who grow it, their foray into farming and motivation to keep at it, the challenges and opportunities within the industry, the influence of agriculture on the environment, some misconceptions associated with the industry and more. Additionally, the series aims to highlight opportunities within the agriculture sector for young, beginning and small farmers.
The families featured in the series are not only upstanding members of their communities, advocates for agriculture and savvy business owners, but also Farm Credit customer-owners. Each of the featured producers leverage our cooperative structure and flexible financing to meet their operational goals. Many of the business owners highlighted in the series also take advantage of Farm Credit Knowledge Center programming to grow their knowledge base and keep a pulse on industry trends.
