However, the younger generation of American farmers has taken up a method of “agvocacy” like none before them. Last summer, the Peterson brothers from Kansas uploaded a video that forever changed the agriculture industry. A parody of LMFAO’s “I’m Sexy and I Know It,” their video, “I’m Farming and I Grow It,” went viral, with over 8 million views as of this writing.
After the success of the Peterson brothers, others set out to do something similar. This agriculture-related video parodies Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe,” , and is called “Farm It Maybe” by Lil Fred. It features a young boy, Lil Fred, who makes a cute rap about a day in his life as farmer.
Both videos entertain while giving viewers a glimpse of farm life. So share these videos, or make one of your own, and help the Peterson brothers and Lil Fred in their efforts to advocate for agriculture.
