Alltech held their first ever Farming Film Festival this year with their Symposium theme of Game Changers. They invited people to tell their “game changing” story of an innovation that helped them on their farm. The first and second place winners were picked by a panel that included myself as well as Dale Miller of National Hog Farmer and Hoard’s Dairyman’s Lucas Sjostrom. Third place was determined by the highest number of online votes.
First place was awarded to Adam Dotson who submitted Good Shepherd Cheese, which told the story of a sheep farm in Kentucky. You can watch it below. Second place went to the video Cow Comfort, entered by Jonathan Klingenfus who explained how his family farm turned a crisis into an opportunity. Third place was awarded to Lauren Chase’s Telling The Montana Family Ranching Story.
I spoke with Allie Hembree, North American Public Relations Coordinator, Alltech, about the Farming Film Festival and other new technological features of this year’s Symposium. She says participation in the festival was great and they plan to do it again next year. Listen to my interview with her to hear what else is new from Alltech at this year’s event.
