About Us
"Farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil and you're a thousand miles from the cornfield. ~ President Dwight D. Eisenhower"
Eighty percent of the land in the United States is populated by 55 million Americans. And no matter what's been said about us "clinging to our God and guns," we are as gifted and diverse as any other American culture. The heritage of rural America is the heritage of the United States of America; the two are inextricable.
Frank Sinatra got it wrong. Just because you can make it in New York city, or any city for that matter, doesn't mean you can make it in the country. Life for rural Americans is much different than it is for the 300+ million who live in urban areas that make up the other twenty percent of America's landmass. RFD America is a place for the rural and urban cultures to meet, a place to learn about and celebrate rural America's rich history.
RFD America is a recognized leader in rural media. Members of the House Agriculture Committee in Washington, DC recently contacted RFD America:
"...we are reaching out to influential agriculture and farm bloggers like yourselves to gauge interest in working with the committee as we move forward. In particular, I’m interested in speaking with you about your blog and how the committee can be a resource for you and your contributors."
We offer free farm guides, covering everything from medicinal foods to care of livestock. Each guide/book can be printed out in full, or by the page if you need to take the information with you. (Please Note: Users must create an account to print books.) Check back often, as we are always adding material.
