11 THE HENNINGSENS Faith. Family. Farming. Three values that describe the country music band, The Henningsens. As a seventh generation farm family, Brian (dad), Clara (daughter), and Aaron Henningsen (son) were excited to join Beck s in honoring farmers by writing a song inspired by the Why I Farm Movement. When we wrote the song, we didn t just want it to be about our farm experience, we wanted it to be about every farmer, said Clara Henningsen. We hope that when you hear the song, you ll be able to listen to it and see yourself and your whole family in it. Beck s is sponsoring free song downloads for a limited time to those that pledge their continued support of the Why I Farm Movement. Visit WhyIFarm.com to download your copy and follow The Henningsens as they perform the Why I Farm song at upcoming events.
