Introducing viewers to the men and women who provide food, fuel, and fiber to our nation and the world, season 5 of America’s Heartland also examines issues like food safety, animal welfare, urban farming, sustainability, and environmental concerns.
America’s Heartland has also dramatically expanded its social networking outreach with new online features at www.americasheartland.org; friends on Facebook, access on Twitter, and an extensive channel of exclusive video offerings on YouTube. One recent story has been viewed more than one million times.
