Farming content on TikTok has become increasingly popular with farming creators showcasing their daily lives. 

Over the past few years, the agricultural community has embraced TikTok in a big way, with the rise of hashtags like #FarmTok and #GirlsWhoFarm generating millions of views. "From sharing the ins and outs of lambing season to talking openly about the challenges and isolation of life on the farm, our community of farmers are bringing their lifestyles and knowledge to new audiences on TikTok with bitesize, entertaining and educational farming content," Tiktok stated.

 In Ireland #FarmLife has doubled in terms of video views over the past year, receiving 12 million views, while in August #FarmTok video views went from three million in August 2021 to six million in August 2022. The data also shows the videos containing #Agriculture, #Agri and #Farm collectively received 30 million views in August alone.
