Farms.com YouTube Channel Reaches 3 Million Views
September 10, 2013 (Guelph, Ontario) -- Farms.com a frontrunner in the online agriculture community, reached another milestone. The company’s Farms.com Agriculture Videos YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/FarmsVideos hit three million views on Thursday. With informative videos on farm equipment, agriculture technology, crop information, market reports and more, the Farms.com Agriculture YouTube channel offers industry information to those in agriculture and agribusiness.
“Keeping farmers and agribusinesses up-to-date is our goal at Farms.com,” says Farms.com Executive Vice President Joe Dales. “The ag community has embraced YouTube as much as main stream audiences. It’s exciting for us to receive the feedback through ‘views’ that farmers appreciate our videos. We could not have reached 3 million views without the participants in our videos who have shared their updates, anecdotes, and products.”
In addition to its main YouTube channel, Farms.com has a number of niche channels to serve specific agriculture audiences. Together, AgCareers.com http://www.youtube.com/user/AgCareers, Farms TV (Canada) http://www.youtube.com/user/FarmsTV, and Farms Swine TV http://www.youtube.com/user/SwineTV/about have a combined one million views, demonstrating the diverse audiences served by Farms.com.
Since joining social media in 2010, the company's largest social media success was its Tribute to Farmers: God Made a Farmer video, which received more than one million views on YouTube, and gained the attention of Ram Trucks, which used the idea as inspiration for its ‘Farmer’ 2013 Super Bowl commercial.
Along with its presence on YouTube, Farms.com and its network of websites and companies of services is a leader in social media, engaging with more than 40,000 members on sites including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Pinterest. Providing audiences with timely information on industry news and events has allowed Farms.com to build its social media presence into what it is today and to continue to be an online leader.
