USFRAHave you ever wondered how to milk 1,200 cows three times a day? Or gather 50,000 eggs a day? Or how to keep 7,000 pigs feed, watered, clean and happy? Well wonder no more. The U.S. Farmers and Ranchers Alliance (USFRA) has launched a fun and very informative “How To Farm” series that also looks how no-till techniques can aid in soil health.

Hosted by blogger “ReDefined Mom” Kelly Snyder, USFRA’s online video series illustrates different farming practices – with a fun twist. The featured farmers make their jobs producing our food easy, but behind the scenes a lot of work goes into growing and raising our food. Snyder, a blogger mom of two based in Kansas City, visited four Midwest farms to learn just how farmers and ranchers do what they do every day – and why.

The videos also highlight new technology used on farms and ranches today, and address common misconceptions about food production. The first four videos give viewers an up-close look at just how farmers grow and raise food, including:

“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,” said Randy Krotz, CEO of USFRA. “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.”
