Do you keep it rural?

Farm Credit says they've been "helping folks keep it rural for more than 90 years" and they have introduced a contest so that you can show off how you keep it rural! The contest encourages folks to "Dig out your funniest, most inspiring, unusual, bizarre, and amazing farm- and rural-themed videos. Or, get out your video camera and make some new ones."

First Place: $3,000
Second Place: $2,000
Third Place: $1,000

For more information, check out the Video Contest website.
