You will be seeing some familiar faces on the television network, RFD-TV, this Thursday. RFD-TV and A-FAN (Alliance for the Future of Agriculture in Nebraska) are teaming up to do a special 90-minute RFD-TV “LIVE” prime-time broadcast tomorrow, Thursday, February 17 beginning at 9:30 p.m. Eastern.
"We’re pleased to be teaming up with RFD-TV and to be able to tell our story of what we’re doing in Nebraska to promote agriculture," said Willow Holoubek, spokesperson for A-FAN. "We’re in a real battle in rural America. There’s a lot of misinformation in the media about how food is produced. We want to show every consumer that Nebraska farmers and ranchers safely and responsibly provide food for our tables. We’re proud of Nebraska’s strong agricultural traditions and way of life, and we’re working hard to keep our family farms successful, while remaining environmentally responsible."
Patrick Gottsch, RFD-TV founder and president added, "What this organization has done in Nebraska should be done in every state. I hope every farmer and rancher in America tunes in Thursday night to hear the story of A-FAN. RFD-TV is ready to help any state that wants to do the same thing. I encourage viewers to call in that night and ask questions."
A panel of Nebraska farmers and ranchers will take part in his special broadcast, hosted by RFD-TV news director Mark Oppold. This panel will include:
Dawn Caldwell, A-FAN communications committee chairwoman and Common Ground spokeswoman:
Bart and Shana Beattie, family farmers and Common Ground spokeswoman from Sumner:
Anne Burkholder, feed lot owner and manager in Cozad:
Short videos will highlight Nebraska farm families and their dedication to food production and their way of life. You can see these videos on A-FAN's YouTube page.
