RFD-TV AND A-FAN (Alliance for the Future of Agriculture in Nebraska) are proud to announce a special 90-minute RFD-TV “LIVE” prime-time broadcast on Thursday, February 17th beginning at 8:30pm central time. The Nebraska grain and livestock organizations formed their alliance in 2006 with the primary goals of helping consumers better understand where their food comes from and the people who produce it.
Willow Holoubek, spokesperson for A-FAN, says, “We’re pleased to be teaming up with RFD-TV and to be able to tell our story of what we’re doing in Nebraska to promote agriculture. We’re in a real battle in rural America. There’s a lot of misinformation in the media about how food is produced. We want to show every consumer that Nebraska farmers and ranchers safely and responsibly provide food for our tables. We’re proud of Nebraska’s strong agricultural traditions and way of life, and we’re working hard to keep our family farms successful, while remaining environmentally responsible.”
Patrick Gottsch, RFD-TV founder and president added: “What this organization has done in Nebraska should be done in every state. I hope every farmer and rancher in America tunes in Thursday night to hear the story of A-FAN. RFD-TV is ready to help any state that wants do the same thing. I encourage viewers to call in that night and ask questions.”
A panel of Nebraska farmers and ranchers will take part in his special broadcast, hosted by RFD-TV News Director Mark Oppold. Short videos will highlight Nebraska farm families and their dedication to food production, and their way of life. A toll-free number will be available for viewers to call-in and participate once the show starts.
