SharkFarmer TV premieres April 21

(NASHVILLE, TN – APRIL 21, 2020) RFD-TV announced a new original television series, “SharkFarmer TV,” that will premiere tonight only on RFD-TV. “SharkFarmer TV” is the brainchild of Rob Sharkey, a fifth-generation farmer from Illinois. He shares the stories of incredible people in agriculture… both their successes and perhaps a few blunders along the way. Throughout the show, viewers will see aerial footage of the field just as the drone crashes into a barn… and hear all the stories behind it all. You can see the promo here.

“Over the past few years, what has brought me the greatest joy is creating a platform that features folks in rural America, said Rob Sharkey, host of SharkFarmer TV. We are excited to partner with RFD-TV and bring you something fun that shows people in rural America are original, inspiring, and entertaining! I think everyone deserves a little humor right now!”

Shark also has a radio show, “SharkFarmer” on Rural Radio Sirius XM Channel 147. “SharkFarmer” airs every day at 4:00 PM/ET, giving farmers a platform daily to tell their unique story.

“SharkFarmer TV” airs every Tuesday night at 9:30 PM/ET on RFD-TV, streaming to RFD-TV Now the following day. To find out how you can get RFD-TV in your area, please visit here.
