America’s farm families have an amazing story to tell – and Monsanto is continuing its “America’s Farmers” campaign to help them tell it. On Thanksgiving Day, Monsanto will launch the next wave of television commercials aimed at illustrating the important role of America’s farm families and modern agriculture in meeting the needs of our growing world. In addition, the America’s Farmers campaign can be heard on the radio and seen on billboards along major U.S. highways. Each farm family in the campaign will also be featured in a behind-the-scenes look at farm life through a series of webisodes at AmericasFarmers.com.

Spokesperson Jessica Simmons says, – this Thanksgiving, as people sit down to enjoy dinner with their family and friends, we hope to encourage them to take a moment and thank those who make it all possible – America’s farm families. According to Simmons, – as an agriculture company, Monsanto is proud to advocate on behalf of America’s farmers as they work tirelessly to provide plentiful food, clothing and energy for our country and the world.

Virginia farmer P.J. Haynie, featured in the new America’s Farmers television commercials, points out that – farmers contribute to the global food supply – food, fiber, textiles, so many things. He says – the products from rural counties are shipped all over the world. It’s an honor and a privilege to be an American farmer.

Other featured farmers are: Kelly Woodrow family of Springerton, Illinois, and Bill Schroeder family of Reynolds, Indiana.
