Going Viral, Farmer Style

摘要

More than 10 million people got a true glimpse of working in production agriculture after three brothers from Assaria, Kansas, created YouTube videos featuring life on their family farm. "We wanted to show people who didn't know anything about farmingwhat it's really like on the farm. We didn't want to sugarcoat it," says Greg Peterson, 22. The videos show clips of the brothers walking fields of wheat, corn, and alfalfa; harvesting crops; feeding cattle; and doing other chores around the farm - allwhile singing lyrics that give popular rap songs an agricultural spin. The first video, "I'm Farming And I Grow It," a parody of LMFAO's "I'm Sexy And I Know It," went viral within 24 hours of the brothers uploading it to YouTube on June 25. The second,"Farmer Style," released December 4, parodies PSY's "Gangnam Style," and it outdid the first - receiving more than 8 million views the first week.
