America's Farmers Mobile Experience

We are very excited that this year the Vermont State Fair will have the America's Farmers Mobile Experience from September 7-10th.


"By the year 2050, it's expected the global population will grow to 9 billion people. To feed them, farmers are faced with a huge task -- produce more food in the next few decades than they have in the past 10,000 years combined."

"America's farmers will meet this challenge. And now, you can hear their stories. Learn how they provide for you every day of their lives. How committed they are to your future. How they're ensuring a promising future."
