During the 2020 growing season, Agricen hired a film crew to document the experiences of growers from four different farm operations in the United States. The result is [*Last Stand*](https://www.agricen.com/last-stand), a movie that follows some of America's top farmers as they try to grow the highest yields possible in a season full of challenges. The film can be watched by visiting [LastStand.ag](https://www.agricen.com/last-stand). > “*While you can never predict what the growing season will be like, the 2020 season certainly did manage to throw many surprises into the mix. Excessive rain and hurricanes, the historic derecho in Iowa and across the upper Midwest – and that’s just the weather*,” says Michael Totora, president and CEO of Agricen. “*We think this is an important film that not only gives viewers a unique glimpse into the lives of the featured farmers, but also into the lives of farmers across the U.S. in 2020*.” The farmers featured in the film have a passion for farming and produced some of the highest corn yields in the nation in recent years. They also have the humor, grit and resilience to help them succeed at the job. In [*Last Stand*](https://www.agricen.com/last-stand), you’ll meet: ![Last-Stand-grower-collage](https://blog.agricen.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Last-Stand-grower-collage.jpg?width=500&name=Last-Stand-grower-collage.jpg) *Pictured above are top producers Don Stall (top L), Kelly Garrett (top R), Heath Cutrell (bottom L) and Kevin and Shawn Kalb (bottom R).* Another factor that ties the growers together is that they have used [Agricen's product technologies](https://www.agricen.com/agricultural-products) in their high-yielding programs. > “*Several years ago, we noticed that a number of growers with top corn yields at the state and national levels used our product technologies in their production programs*,” says Totora. “*With [Last Stand](https://www.agricen.com/last-stand), we set out to dig into that, but it quickly became much more. Their stories, as captured in the film, are deeply personal, yet also familiar to farmers everywhere*.” [*Last Stand*](https://www.agricen.com/last-stand), filmed by agriculture documentary veterans [Light Work Productions](https://www.alightworkproduction.com/), is the second long-form film about farming developed by Agricen. Agricen’s previous film about agriculture, [*Prove It to Me*](https://www.agricen.com/agricen-movie-prove-it-to-me-full), which followed five farmers from Arkansas and Iowa during the 2015 growing season, is [also available to view](https://www.agricen.com/agricen-movie-prove-it-to-me-full).
