I’ve got a bone to pick with “agvocacy”
August 1st, 2011
Lately, I’ve felt like I’ve had a burr under my saddle, in regards to agvocacy. I’ve been probably a little grouchier than warranted. 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

Will you accept the challenge?
July 9th, 2011
It has been more than two years since I first started to use social media to share information about how my farm operates and my views about agriculture as a whole. Along the way I learned a few things about how to better communicate with others who are not as connected to the farm as

Change your social media game at #ACFC11
June 20th, 2011
Take agvocating to the next level Attending #ACFC10 (or the AgChat Foundation Conference in 2010 for those still getting used to Twitter-speak!) brought some changes to my social media (SM) exposure and interaction. It all started with the purchase of my Blackberry. Going to the conference meant I had a reason (although maybe not a

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.
