Prairie Farm Report
Series founder and host, Bill Wilson, who held an active interest in a family grain and livestock operation in western Canada, established Ag-Com Productions in 1983 to begin production of the Prairie Farm Report. “Our primary purpose back then and still today is to showcase machines, ideas and concepts that are often developed by farmers and ranchers in order to help keep their operations viable,” Wilson says. Soon after launching Prairie Farm Report, surveys and ratings indicated that 75% of farm families watched Prairie Farm Report every week. This instant series popularity led Wilson and his company to develop one of the world’s most unique private agricultural video/DVD collections. “Viewers started to request video dubs of episodes we were airing in the late 1980’s so we thought we’d start to build a library of titles at that time.” Unlike many farm video libraries, the Prairie Farm Report Video/DVD Library contains videos shot and assembled on broadcast quality equipment. The contents of each video are also researched, written, shot and post produced by television professionals. The Prairie Farm Report Video Library is built around several themes with videos on: farm shops, farm-built inventions, cattle handling systems, grain handling set-ups, diversification ideas, farm yard design and maintenance, vintage machinery, crop diversification, livestock diversification, farm toys, livestock feed handling along with several stand alone titles. “Our popular themes are associated with farm shops, cattle handling facilities, inventions and vintage machinery,” says Wilson. According to Wilson, the most rewarding part of shooting the Prairie Farm Report is the time spent visiting with farm and ranch families as they proudly describe how they met a certain challenge on their operation by building something that no one else has thought of. “We also feature plenty of inventions and ideas that you can purchase on a dealers lot, however they’re often built for a fraction of the cost of something manufactured for the masses.” Wilson notes.
