NFU Recognizes Family Farmers, Ranchers on National Ag Day

 National Farmers Union (NFU) is joining the American agriculture community today to celebrate National Ag Day.   

“Family farmers and ranchers work hard to feed, fuel, and clothe our nation and world,” said NFU President Rob Larew. “We honor the commitment they bring to their farms, families, and communities.” 

“Today – and every day – Farmers Union members are working to ensure future generations of family farmers and ranchers will be able to thrive. Too often farmers and ranchers face inflated costs of seed and fertilizer or low prices for their products because the market is dominated by monopolies. This is unfair for farmers and ranchers but also consumers who end up paying more for food. We must do better,” Larew added.

Video: Farming At Night | Baling Hay | Feeding Sheep | Locking Gates!

Farming often goes on well into the night. In today's sheep farming vlog, we finish baling hay in the dark so that we can start wrapping the hay first thing in the morning. Meanwhile, back at the farm, I head out to the sheep barns to complete the nightly sheep chores which includes feeding bottle lambs their milk, kicking in the day's hay to the sheep, making sure all the sheep are in the barns for the night, and locking all the gates to prevent predators getting in to the paddocks and barns at night.
