Arizona Ranchers for Tomorrow has initiated a unique promotional campaign to help consumers recognize where their food comes from. The group is now taking orders for “This Ranch Feeds Families” signs that will be customized to individual ranches.

According to a promotion from Arizona Ranchers for Tomorrow, as orders for the 4-foot by 4-foot signs are placed, Arizona Cattle Growers staff will contact buyers to calculate the number of families each ranch feeds and submit the number to the sign printer. Each individual sign will be printed with the number of families the ranch feeds per year.

“The goal of each sign is to increase awareness among the public and educate consumers that the land and ranches they are visiting feed American families,” according to the group.

The signs are made of a hybrid aluminum/plastic composite sign material. It is 6 mm thick (about 1/4-inches) substrate for printing. This material is a unique combination of a stable, rigid plastic core that is sandwiched between two aluminum sheets - making a rust-resistant, fade-resistant, and dimensionally stable sign. The sign can be hung on T-posts or on two 4x$ wood posts, and each sign costs $195.

The first round of signs will be printed and distributed at the Arizona Cattle Growers 116th Annual Summer Convention at We-Ko-Pa on July 15th - 18th. Orders must be placed before June 23rd. Shipping options are available at an additional cost.
