Maryland Grain Producers Association (MGPA) President and Calvert County farmer, Donnie Tennyson, was recently featured in the Delmarva Farmer for his newfound fame through the video-sharing website, YouTube. Donnie’s YouTube channel, entitled Farmer MD, features “farming and a little more in Souther Maryland.” To date, Donnie has posted over 90 videos on his channel, received more than 1,500 subscribers and nearly 215,000 views.
The Delmarva Farmers boosts that Donnie’s YouTube channel is a way to make agriculture in Maryland “sexy,” citing a video he posted on October 15th title “Sexy Farmer.” But he is not justing drawing in viewers from Maryland. Donnie has been tracking viewers from outside of the U.S., including Chile, Ukraine, and Bulgaria. “What I think I do is not that exciting, but there are others out there that enjoy it and like watching it. I think that’s the biggest surprise,” Donnie said.
