	Farmweek is Mississippi's only statewide agricultural news program aired on the Mississippi Public Broadcasting and it comes from Mississippi State University. The program is produced by the Mississippi State Extension Service through the Office of Agricultural Communications and with the support of the University Television Center. Each week a crew of ten or more staff members of the Television Center work together to produce this high quality news program that reaches more than 95,000 homes throughout the state. The Center provides video artists, animators, videotape operators, a technical director and director, and engineers to support this award winning production.     The show hosts, Artis Ford and Leighton Spann, travel throughout the state to gather material for feature stories about Mississippi agriculture and trends in the agribusiness community that can effect this important Mississippi industry. These stories are edited together and rolled in as part of each program produced at the studio of the Television Center.
		On special occasions, Farmweek takes to the road to bring up-to-date information to the show's growing viewing audience. Farmweek has originated from national and regional cotton and soybean meetings where industry experts could be interviewed on relative topics. These remote programs are produced using the Television Center's remote production truck and KU-band transportable uplink.
	Farmweek has won numerous national awards through the years from the Agricultural Communicators in Education (ACE), and regional awards from the Mississippi Association of Broadcasters, and from the College Public Relations.
