The America’s Farmers Giveaway [ENDED]


Farming is still a major source of many of the foods we use today.  Did you know that there are 90 millions acres plant to corn here in the US and that these acres product about 40% of the worlds corn?  Corn is used for many things, including ethanol production.  Aside from corn, there are about 75 million acres planted to soybeans.  I acre of soybeans can produce 2,500 gallons of spy milk, 40,000 8oz servings of tofu, and over 82,000 crayons.

Recently I introduced the Matthews, a family that has been farming for several generations.  Today, let’s meet the Woodrow Family.  The Woodrows live in Illinois and grow corn, wheat, and soybeans.  Kelly Woodrow started farming with his dad, Don, in 1978 when he was 18 years old.  Don is now retired, and Kelly’s sons have now stepped into the business and help run the farm.  You can learn more about the Woodrows and other farm families by visiting America’s Farmers.

  10. The DeRocher family inspires me. I really like their family motto. Sometimes we forget to think about the people that will be here after us.

  15. The DeRocher family is inspiring as they have been farming since 1984 years. I love how it’s an family affair to keep the farm up and running.

  16. All the families are great. The Mathews family inspires me the most. He took on the farm at a young age when his dad passed.

  17. I’m inspired by the Matthews Family because taking over the family farm operation after loosing a loved one at a young age is very admirable

  19. I’m for the MATTHEWS! It is so admirable that the two boys took over when their dad died young. And now Travis is keeping the farm going with his family. Also corn and soybeans are crops I SUPPORT our farmers, GMO or not! These crops help feed many people around the world with the US generosity. This is the type of family that made America strong, and we should be behind them 200%!

  29. I was inspired by the Hemmes family! She is amazing and the work she did in Uganda to help teach the women over there how to farm was so inspirational!

  30. The Matthews family, from MO, really inspires me. Raising 4 children and farming 8,000 acres is very hard work. They do it because they love it and to help with America’s food crops. My hats off to them. Great looking family.
