A growing number of farmers are using social media to help show the non-farming public how food is produced.
Carl Dodge of Masonville, Iowa got started in the fall of
2018 when he produced a harvest video and posted it on YouTube to share with a
cousin in Ohio.
“And then, before I knew it, a hundred or two-hundred people had watched that first video and said, ‘hey, can you make one about grain carting, or can you make one about something else’,” Dodge says, “So I just started doing more and more, and it’s just kind of blossomed into a pretty big thing that takes a fair amount of my time now—but I really enjoy it though.”
Dodge says he’s up to about 15-thousand subscribers.
