About Us

Faces of Agriculture - Our story is one of food and fiber, family and friends, hard times and good times. On this blog you will meet people from all over the country and all walks of life. We want to see the human side of farming and ranching beyond the machines and science; the families, and individuals who make up agriculture.We're more than just cows and crops, we're people and families and generations of hard work. The photos and stories featured on this blog are a true record of our agricultural way of life; our National Heritage.

We want to open up a conversation with folks who help put the food on your table and bring home the bacon!
