I love technology and anything electronic, especially if it has a screen. Connect it to the Internet and we are nearing utopia. I also love people. What really fascinates me is how we can relate to one another with our similarities, and yet, we can discover that we can relate to one another amongst our

Stop standing still, for agriculture’s sake
September 10th, 2011
I am not unique. There’s nothing special about me. I am not a well-versed, professionally trained speaker. I am not a speaker at all. Social media guru? Nope. Sly talkin’ slick dressed public relations specialist? Uh-uh. Not even close. I’m a mom, a daughter, an entrepreneur, and a cattle farmer from rural Kentucky. I make

Part of that is because I feel like our efforts to engage in agricultural dialogue, has plateaued. Part of it is because many people in the agriculture community operate on the same

Food and Marketing
July 19th, 2011
A month or so ago I stopped at Chipotle for lunch. While ordering, I noticed the menu said “Burrito, with naturally raised chicken“. I asked the gentlemen cashier what that meant. He said it means raising chickens naturally, not in cages, and “without hormones”. I asked about that “without hormones” comment and he said yes,

An engaged community. A collective voice. A chance for agriculture to work together on a common issue-led by farmers. The ability to touch millions with agricultural messages. Agvocacy at its best goes beyond a single person or tool-it connects people on both sides of the food plate.
