The main film
Explainer
Future of Farming
Gallatin County farmers on keeping the next generation in agriculture and the difficulty of young people getting access to ground. Part of the county's Good Neighbors to Ag series.
The brief
Gallatin County wanted to help residents understand the working farms and ranches around them. Its Good Neighbors to Ag message needed to make everyday questions about land, water and community easy to understand.
The approach
The farmers tell the story themselves. Each film focuses on one subject, pairing their perspective with a short edit and on-screen captions. Together, the films give the county a connected series with room for different voices.
The delivered work
Five public-service films cover the future of farming, community support, respect for agriculture, water, and irrigation ditches. Each stands on its own within the Good Neighbors to Ag series.
- Audience
- Residents living alongside Gallatin County's farms and ranches
- Format
- A series of five short, captioned films

The rest of the series
Four more films bring other farms, voices and questions into the same conversation.
