Each Tuesday night this spring, RFD-TV is proud to showcase a dynamic new lineup of programming that brings the best of farming and agriculture production to your TV screens.
From innovative farming techniques to powerful stories of women in agriculture, our Tuesday programming brings you in-depth insights, expert advice, and the latest trends in the industry.
Here are five agriculture shows farmers can’t miss on Tuesday nights:
Shark Farmer TV
SharkFarmer TV is the brainchild of Rob Sharkey, a 5th-generation farmer from Illinois. He shares the stories of incredible people in agriculture—both their successes and perhaps a few blunders along the way. You’ll see aerial footage of the field just as the drone crashes into a barn—and hear the story behind it all.
Ag Ph.D.
Hosted by Darren and Brian Hefty since 1998, Ag Ph.D. is all about informing agriculture. Producers across the country and around the world watch and listen to Ag Ph.D. for the latest information on how to take their operation from good to great. The program includes a wide range of agronomic insights, from maximizing your fertilizer program and tilling to stopping yield-robbing insects and crop diseases.
Top Crop
From soil to harvest, Top Crop is an agriculture show following four of the best farmers in the world: Dan Luepkes, of Oregan, Illinois; Cory Atley, of Cedarville, Ohio; Shelby Fite, of Jackson Center, Ohio; and Russell Hedrick, of Hickory, North Carolina. The series reveals what it takes for them to make a profitable crop. It all starts with good soil, patience, and a strong planter setup.
Total Acre Farming
Crop yield champions David Hula from Virginia and Randy Dowdy from Georgia are back for another season of Total Acre Farming (previously, “Next Level Farming”), aiming to school more growers across the country in their winning ways. “It’s about giving attention to details,” Randy and David suggest. They’ll do their best in a business where uncontrollable factors can be daunting.
FarmHER
Women have always held an important—but mostly unseen—role in agriculture. In recent years, however, they have risen to the forefront of the farming and ranching industries in many ways: as owners/operators, landowners, business leaders, workers, mentors, and much more. FarmHER is working to change how people perceive farmers by sharing the stories of the women who live and lead in agriculture.
