The following is a press release featuring our family as Farm American's featured farmer written by, Stacy Hadrick, marketing director for Furniture Row Racing. We are so honored to be recognized and we are so grateful to Furniture Row Racing for allowing farmers to tell our stories! http://farmamerican.com/category/american-farm-and-ranch-families/
Continuing to learn and adapt to new things is a part of every farmers life. Today’s farmers require specialists to help them stay current with everything from soil quality to animal breed genetics.
Agriculture education is a big part of Daniel and Christy Brown’s life of Hillsboro, Tennessee. Daniel works as an agronomist, teaching adults about best farming practices and Christy is shaping the next generation of youth as an agriculture teacher and FFA advisor.
Daniel takes pride in helping the producers he works with to maximize their corn yields. This passion is something that his young son has taken to. “Avery can name more corn diseases, root development terms and see varieties then most farmers five times his age” said Daniel.
Christy has the heart for teaching. “I see everyday the repercussions of being three, four, or more generations removed from production agriculture” Said Christy.
“That’s why we think Farm American is an amazing and innovative opportunity for farmers to share the message that American farms are family owned and operated by families just like ours, and the safety of the food we produce for is our family and consumers is our number one priority. We are very grateful to Furniture Row Racing for allowing farmers and ranchers to tell our stories about food production."
These educators also find time in their incredibly busy off farm jobs to farm in Coffee County where they raise, corn, soybeans, beef cows, and quarter horses. They are grateful to be able to raise their children Avery and Addie Rose on the farm.
Christy also has a farm blog: greasegriefgraceandgroceries.blogspot.com where she shares about her life as a mom, educator, loosing their son Denton, and her passion for agriculture.
