b"Some farmers are looking for ways to share information about how they treat their animals with their customers. To do that, many turn to American Humane's Farm Program. In this second episode of Behind the Label with\\xa0American\\xa0Humane, president and CEO Robin Ganzert and\\xa0director of Farm Program Operations Haley Grimes walk listeners through the logistics of the certification process that results in a farm achieving American Humane Certified status. They discuss how producers work with the organization to meet the standards, the audits each farm undergoes, and more. In the next few episodes, we'll dig deeper into\\xa0American\\xa0Humane's scientific standards for chickens and how Springer Mountain Farms applies those standards.\\n\\nIn March, HRN began producing all of our 35 weekly shows from our homes all around the country.
