This week is National Farmworker Awareness Week. The Environmental Protection Agency’s mission is to protect human health and the environment while recognizing the hard work that farmers at farms like Birdsong Farm and Goodell Farm are providing for people in our communities.

TV2’s Gabby Jonas visited with local farmers to hear what this week means to them and the importance of farming in Portage County.
