Our audience:
- Is not stupid or ignorant. Most people who are skeptical of today’s farming methods are educated.
- Is motivated by emotion. And unfortunately for us, fear is a very strong emotion, and one that the media uses frequently to sell a story.
- Is part of the “moderate middle.” Food Babe is not part of our audience. Vegan activists are not part of our audience.
- Lives in urban and rural areas. I find that many people in rural areas remember what it was like when their parents or grandparents were farming, and want modern farming to look the same.
- Trusts farmers and ranchers, but does not trust “Big Ag.”
- Does not know that 93% of farms in the US are family farms.
- Needs to know that even though farms look different, farmers’ values have not changed.
