Tulare, Calif. – Scott Seargeant and Brian Keith, who submitted a video on behalf of Revolier Films, have won World Ag Expo’s “Where Would We Be Without Farmers?” video contest.  In the video, Seargeant and Keith feature a local farmer and his wife from Tulare, Calif.—the farming couple, Scott and Anna Rogers, are thanked by strangers, friends and family alike.

Entrants from all over the world depicted different ways in which farmers impact our everyday lives, most choosing to focus on the hardworking farmers and their families—and the lengths they go to in order to feed and clothe the world. Entries were evaluated by a panel of judges and the top videos were posted on World Ag Expo’s website, where the public voted for their favorites. 

“We hoped to get a variety of creative takes on the theme this year, and we were not disappointed,” said Jerry Sinift, CEO of the International Agri-Center. “The different depictions submitted were a great way to raise awareness about the necessity of farmers, and the contributions they make to the world—day in and day out.”

Watch the video at www.worldagexpo.com/top-video.  Filmmakers Seargeant and Keith, musician Chris Allen, and assistant director and high-schooler, Ciara Daniel, will be recognized at World Ag Expo’s Media Day on Feb. 9, where they will be presented with a $3,000 check.
