#StillFarming Highlights Farmers’ and Ranchers’ Commitment to Safe, Affordable Food

Launched last March to assure consumers that farmers and ranchers take very seriously their commitment to fill grocery store shelves with safe, affordable food, #StillFarming has reached more than 100 million people in all 50 states and more than 90 countries.

Whether they were prepping the soil for spring planting, tending to newly sprouted crops, harvesting those crops at just the right time, feeding and milking their dairy cows or looking after their cattle, chickens and pigs, farmers and ranchers carried on, day-in and day-out, while much of the world came to a standstill.

Growers of all types of food, fuel and fiber took to Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter to share their #StillFarming stories.
