Learn how farmers use downtime in winter to prepare for spring, on Real Virginia

Featured this month on Real Virginia, Virginia Farm Bureau’s weekly television program:

  • Winter is time for Virginia farmers to balance their books, perform machine maintenance and plan for the upcoming crop year. 
  •  Learn how growers sustain their land in the off-season with winter cover crops.
  • The Southern Exposure Seed Exchange connects farmers and gardeners to heirloom produce.
  • Discover how cotton, peanut and tobacco production in Greensville County bridges the agricultural traditions of Southeast and Southside Virginia on this month’s County Agriculture Close-up.

Real Virginia airs nationwide at 3:30 p.m. on the first Saturday of each month on RFD-TV on Dish Network and DirecTV, and on selected cable outlets around the state. It airs weekly on WBRA Roanoke, WHRO Norfolk, WVVA Bluefield and WTKR Norfolk, and on the first and second weekends of each month on WVIR Charlottesville and WRLH Richmond.
