Podcast: NeCGA has tools available to help you tell your farm’s story

In this podcast, Brandon Hunnicutt, president of the Nebraska Corn Growers Association and a farmer from Giltner, there is one area he believes farmers can improve upon: telling their farm's story.

"From traveling around the country representing the NeCGA, it is apparent that our stories as an industry are not always being represented in the correct manner," he said. "It seems as though the story of agriculture is coming from sources who are not the ones growing our food. This can cause problems because facts can become easily skewed. We should be the ones telling the public what we are doing from our own experiences."

A renewed interest by others as to where their food is coming from and how it is raised is "a very wide door opening for everyone involved in farming," he said.

There are many ways farmers can tell their story, he said, and the NeCGA worked with the National Corn Growers Association and Nebraska Corn Board to develop talking points to help.
