KENESAW, Neb. (RFD NEWS) — Season 13 of SharkFarmer premieres tonight on RFD-TV, featuring farmers and ranchers from across the country, including first-generation producer Noah Young of The Shiloh Farm.
Young joined us on Tuesday’s Market Day Report to discuss his journey into agriculture and his appearance on the new season.
In his conversation with RFD News, Young said he grew up without an agricultural background, explaining that both of his parents were teachers. He joked that he first became involved in farming after “falling in love with the farmer’s daughter,” eventually working on her family’s operation before starting his own.
Today, Young and his family operate a diversified five-acre farm in Nebraska, raising a variety of livestock while using social media to connect consumers with agriculture.
Young also discussed helping create questions for the “Man on the Street” segment featured in SharkFarmer, explaining he wanted to highlight how few farmers there are and the tremendous impact they have feeding the world.
He says posting daily chicken content on social media helped grow his online audience and emphasized the importance of helping consumers better understand where their food comes from.
For those interested in getting started in agriculture, Young encouraged finding a strong community of mentors and building relationships with the people producing food.
