Facebook For Your Farm

By: Natalina Sents

From how we get our news, to the way we keep in touch with family and friends, Facebook has transformed many of our habits since its start nearly 15 years ago. For farmers, the social media platform gives an opportunity to offer a glimpse into their operations, and lives, like never before.

Brian Scott is a grain farmer in northwest Indiana. While farming with his father and grandfather, he shares their experiences on Facebook and other social media platforms. Since launching his Facebook page, The Farmer’s Life, in February 2011, Scott has attracted nearly 60,000 followers.
