In the 84 half-hour episodes produced throughout its first four seasons, America's Heartland reporters and crews have brought in stories from all across our great nation. Season 4 completed our first "tour" of all 50 states. All across the U.S, we've discovered unforgettable people and places in the world of agriculture. In season 4, we even visited Taiwan and China to follow the journey of U.S. produced corn as it was made into cattle feed and even "plastic" cups!
Back in 2005, we opened our first episode with the line "America's heartland is more than a place; it's a state of mind." More than 300 stories later, it's still true. Providing food, fuel and fiber for America and the world is an act of passion on the part of our farmers and ranchers big or small, mainstream or specialized. In season four, you'll learn even more about how our ag producers provide us their rich bounty. And, season 4 will be the first produced entirely in High Definition!
