## The High-Stakes Battle For Our Working Lands

 Across the United States, producers face a harsh reality: less land, less water, fewer cattle, and more pressure to feed a growing world. It’s a crisis that demands more than tradition. It demands innovation.

This short documentary follows four partners—Barenbrug USA, Curtis & Curtis Seed Company, Beattie Sales & Service, and the 6666 Ranch—as they overcome land loss, climate strain, and rising demand.

 Unearth what it means to  
"Seed a Better World" and why the future of our food depends on dedicated ag professionals.

## Challenges We Can't Ignore

#### Land Loss

 The U.S. loses 2–4 acres of farmland every minute. That's over 1 million acres per year to development and drought.

#### Water Scarcity

 Groundwater in western Kansas has dropped over a foot per year, depleting more than 60% of the Ogallala Aquifer.

#### Livestock Decline

 U.S. cattle numbers have dropped by 7.6 million head since 2019—reaching a 73-year low.

#### Growing Demand For Food

 The U.S. added 1.7 million people in 2023, increasing demand on food, land, and water.
