A while back, we shared a post about a Utah farmer’s visit to the almond orchards of central California with farmer Brent Boersma of 4th Generation Farms. Trent Bown, a dairy farmer, and his wife Holly attended the World Ag Expo in Tulare, and used that trip out to the Golden State as an opportunity to experience some of California’s amazing agriculture sights and sounds. For each farm or ranch they visited, they produced a beautiful video, paired with a will-written post about it. The almond video was the first one.
Trent and Holly have since released two more videos of their California agriculture production. The second video featured Ray Prock, a Modesto-area dairyman, committed to good land and animal care so that the farm may continue to the next generation. Ray discusses how he began working on the farm as an adolescent, and the joy he has in seeing his son becoming more involved.
The most recent video that Trent and Holly have shared through the blog UsFarmGuys.com features Jeff Fowle, a cattle, sheep, and horse rancher at the extreme north end of California. Family values, tradition, and a strong bond with the animals and environmental all matter deeply to Jeff.
These videos all show distinctly different sides to California’s agriculture, but they all have a few things in common. Trent and Holly capture just how dedicated these three men are to good stewardship of the land, so that their families may continue the business. They show a deep passion for the trade they do, and a love of their work. It’s great to see such candid videos with scenes from the daily life of these three dedicated producers!
Thank you so much to Trent and Holly for working alongside California farmers and ranchers to share their stories. And thank you for your dedication to agriculture as a whole!
Trent can be contacted via his Facebook profile and his dairy’s fan page, Google+, and Twitter.
