Nebraska libraries receive ‘Farmland’ DVDs

DVD copies of the acclaimed documentary film “Farmland” have been distributed to every library in Nebraska, courtesy of the Nebraska Soybean Board (NSB).

“Our board really felt like this was a good way to reach not only young people, but the public who might not be involved in ag production,” says Drew Guiney, NSB marketing director. “It tells a great story and creates a great picture, especially of the young farmers—people who are just starting to get into the industry—and we thought it was a great way to showcase the innovations in farming today.”

DVDs were sent to nearly 13-hundred school, public and institutional libraries across the state.

The Farmland documentary portrays the lives of six young farmer and ranchers and the challenges and opportunities they face.
