Ask a Farmer Anything—Today!

We’ve partnered with the U.S. Farmers and Ranchers Alliance (USFRA) to talk with farmers and ranchers across the country about what goes into their everyday lives, and how they grow and raise food.

Have you ever wanted to ask a farmer about GMOs, animal welfare, or just how they go about their day? Have questions about how farmers grow vegetables or how they manage to feed an army of livestock? Well, today, August 20, you’ll be able to do just that over on our Hotline. 

We'll be collecting questions to ask farmers from across the United States about everything from sustainability to antibiotics to hormones, and even thoughts on the use of crop inputs like pesticides or fertilizers.  Then we'll be heading out into the field, armed with your inquiries, to talk directly with the people who help provide the food we eat. We'll be bringing the answers to you in a series of videos this fall to show you what it's like to be a farmer in the 21st century.

If you miss the Hotline, or have a follow-up question, it’s no problem! Just add a question in the comments below and we’ll make sure it gets into the rotation.
