This week "CSI: Miami" falsely portrayed agriculture to millions of viewers, implying farmers and food-industry professionals don’t care about the health or even the survival of consumers. As Tim Burrack, a farmer from Iowa, put it in a recent blog post, "It was malicious propaganda based on distortions and lies about the common practices of modern agriculture. Call it “un-reality TV.”

More and more we see the media portraying agriculture in a negative light. Tim's comment about 'un-reality TV' really stuck with me. Reality TV has become overwhelmingly popular in the last few years. You can find a reality show about anything you want, from college life to family life, from being a survivor or being the biggest loser, but I don’t recall seeing one about farm life.

Why isn't there a "Reality Farming" show? There’s plenty of excitement on a farm or ranch, and each day is always different. A reality farming show would allow our consumers to see first-hand what we do on a daily basis to protect our food supply, livestock and environment. And it would definitely be entertaining. Don’t believe me? Watch a husband and wife sort hogs, or work cattle. Or better yet, follow the blood-soaked farmer to the emergency room after he is knocked down by a cow. Now there is some real life drama! If you prefer looking at metal, there are plenty of tractors, combines and equipment that needs worked on; some days you even have to dig them out of a muddy field! If you prefer drama in your reality TV, there is never a dull moment when you work side by side with your family trying to beat the weather to plant or harvest a crop! And last but not least, there are numerous lessons to be learned from being on a farm or ranch.

Instead of watching "un-reality TV," or CSI: Miami, I'm ready to watch Reality Farming! I wonder which network will make my dream come true?
