Encouraging the New Generation of Farmers through Ag Story-Telling

This article was originally featured in Central Florida Ag News magazine, November 2015 edition. Read the full article here:

Sustainable agriculture is a popular topic, and one of its chief proponents, seventh generation farmer and best-selling author Forrest Pritchard, has written yet another book about the topic. “Growing Tomorrow is a classic American road trip,” Pritchard explains, “told in stories, photos, and recipes, focusing on extraordinary sustainable farmers from coast to coast.” Pritchard drew from his own experiences in his first book— Gaining Ground— while Growing Tomorrow looks outward. Akin to “a National Geographic-style travelogue,” Pritchard explains that “readers will experience the sights and flavors of all corners of the country. From rooftop beekeepers in Dallas, to flowering orchards in Oregon, to sustainable fishing off Cape Cod and even urban farming in downtown Detroit, each story is a fascinating glimpse into our national food story.”

Whip Cracker Trading Cards from the Sunbelt Ag Expo Available Online!

AgAmerica Lending loved showing off some local talent at this year’s Sunbelt Ag Expo. We brought some of our own ag heritage with a group of whip crackers; it’s a rodeo art that involves the use of one or two whips to perform routines, make rhythms with the whip cracks and perform stunts like popping balloons and snuffing out candles. It arose out of Florida’s beef cattle industry, whereby Florida cattlemen would use whips to herd beef cattle on drives across the state. It’s a proud part of the Florida agriculture heritage.
