The U.S. Farmers and Ranchers Alliance (USFRA) has been sharing a one-of-a-kind experience with consumers near and far. The virtual reality visit to a hog farm allowed consumers and non-farm people to experience a setting on a farm, then freely ask questions and engage in dialogue. Lauren Arbogast said, “This was an opportunity to ‘talk farming’ in uncharted territory.”
INSIGHTS: Inside salespersons can capture a view of swine production in these videos that will go far when servicing swine veterinarians and producers. The images of Wilbur from the 1952 children’s best seller Charlotte’s Web and its 2006 movie reprise have no reflection whatsoever on how pigs are raised today.
