But why do they watch???

Last week America's Heartland attended the 2009 Commodity Classic convention in Grapevile, Texas (near Dallas). It's a convention that attracts upwards of 5000 farmers and agriculture business folks from all over the US.

It's a great opportunity for us to talk with farmers and ranchers who are some of our biggest supporters.

We busted out the FlipCamera again and recorded some testimonials from viewers!

First up, Rose Gauck from Indiana explains why she watches the show every week!



We also asked her husband Gerald to explain how the show reaches a non-farming audience...



Finally, the Isringhausens from Jerseyville, Illinois talk about the importance of sharing the story of agriculture in the U.S.



Thanks again to all of our loyal viewers! It was great talking with you!

Time for some viewer feedback...

We love hearing from viewers. Please send along your comments, questions and ideas!

From Libby in Georgia:
I have recommended your series to all the agriculture education teachers in the State of Georgia. It sounds like some of them may even order the CD sets.
Why not do an episode on making linen from flax?

Thanks for watching, Libby! And thanks to all of the teachers out there who use the educational materials. You can easily download them from our website. Of course each segment is viewable on the website, so if purchasing all the DVD's isn't possible, just click-n-view.

Make sure you tune into episode 414! We've got your "flax into linen" covered! Paul Ryan visits The Landis Valley Museum in Pennsylvania and gets a lesson on linen making from flax. It was an education for me...I didn't know you could do that.

Unfortunately Paul did not bring back a flax shirt for me. Maybe next time...
