Get your boots ready

You can learn a lot just by looking at someone’s boots. Big boots, little boots, dirty boots, clean boots – just like a book, every boot tells a story.

At AFSC, working alongside producers each day means we have the privilege of being a small part of their stories. Farming and ranching is an incredibly diverse and demanding industry filled with some of the most hardworking and resilient people imaginable – and we want everyone to know!

We’re asking producers to give people a glimpse of what it’s like to actually walk in their boots.

Here’s how you can participate:

​​​​1. Take a picture of yourself in your boots. Be creative.

2. Tell us your story by answering one or more of the following questions:

  • What do you love about farming or being part of the agriculture industry?
  • Why were you drawn to this industry?
  • What is a challenge you face as a producer?
  • What excites you most about the future of agriculture and why?

We also get into the energy sector and what the cancellation of $300 billion in clean energy investments has done to rural communities. We’ll close with changes and lost efficiencies in food assistance benefits.
