Singer Jewel Kilcher is partnering with Campbell Soup and the National FFA Organization to support the future of American farming with what she thinks is a hit -- the "Help Grow Your Soup" campaign.
Through this campaign, consumers can visit HelpGrowYourSoup.com, and for each click on the red barn, Campbell will donate $1 (up to $250,000) to champion FFA efforts, which encourage America's youth to participate in agricultural education programs that teach about the production of fiber, food and natural resources.
Jewel lives on a working ranch in Stephenville with her husband, Ty Murray, a former rodeo cowboy.
She grew up on a homestead in Alaska and said living on a farm helped her appreciate the role farming plays in ensuring families have good, quality food on their tables, according to a Campbell Soup news release.
The three-time Grammy nominee is a singer, songwriter, poet and actress.
Jewel has sold more than 27 million albums worldwide and is on a nationwide tour with Brad Paisley in support of her recent country release "Perfectly Clear."
