Want to Become the Face of Farming?

Do you think you have what it takes to become the face of farming? When it comes to today’s agriculture, there are many examples of great farmers who bring food to the table for those around the world.  But unfortunately, few of those farmers are recognized by consumers, mainstream media, and influencers.  In fact, pictures and perceptions of farmers and their lives often don’t match reality – and U.S. Farmers & Ranchers Alliance wants to change that.

The USFRA is looking for “faces of farming” to help put a real face on agriculture to the public.  The farmers selected will be featured in various national media, influencer, and public-facing opportunities.

The goal is to bring farmers and consumers together to answer people’s questions about how their food is grown and raised.

Selected winners will have opportunities to share their knowledge and experiences, plus they’ll receive:
  • A $10,000 stipend to limit the burden on time away from the farm (no more than 30 days in 2013)
  • A $5,000 charitable donation to the local or ag-related charity of their choice
  • Professional media and speaker training

So, we’ll ask again…do you have what it takes to be the face of farming?  We bet you do.  Hurry up and apply at fooddialogues.com.
