After more than a century of caring for and cultivating their land in western Oklahoma, the Didier family is familiar with the hard work and determination required to navigate the ebbs and flows of farming and ranching. The Didiers’ agricultural experience may stretch back to 1902, but it was only over the last few years that the family started getting their hands dirty with more unfamiliar territory: social media.
The legacy farming family first began creating viral online skits to give the increasingly urban world a peek at rural life and work.
Not long after they debuted clips featuring “farm facts,” “farminology” and “tips from granny,” the Didiers began using their platform to share life lessons and even sprinkle in some witty political commentary.
The sketches are the brainchild of Gatlin Didier, a fifth-generation member of the Didier family farming and ranching dynasty.
“It’s just been a whirlwind how we got here, but it’s been cool because there weren’t very many people in the agriculture, farming, country, ranching space doing what we do,” Gatlin told The Federalist. “We’re all about freedoms on our farm, in our country, and in our faith. So that’s the message we try to bring home.”
Millions of Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube followers suggest the Didier family has successfully done just that.
