Welcome to The New Crop!

RFD-TV partners with a handful of agricultural social media influencers who we’ve dubbed “The New Crop.”

These folks take to the internet to tell their stories — and, at the same time, raise awareness of where our food comes from and all that goes into feeding the world population.

So, who exactly are these young guns?

Some are men. Some are women. Some are part of multi-generational agricultural operations. And some are recently-transplanted “city slickers,” who are starting from scratch and learning valuable lessons along the way. (Sometimes the hard way!)

They come from all over: From the Midwest to the South and elsewhere.

The New Crop holds a wealth of hard-earned agricultural know-how and wisdom that they are excited to share with anyone that’s excited to learn and enjoy the journey with them!
