I Heart Twitter

Posted in Uncategorized by farmnwife
I really like twitter. The info is short and to the point. Just give me the important details. I don’t need a lot of fluff and fancy words. 140 characters is plenty. And twitter is the only platform that I have found where I can have a conversation with a cattle guy in Texas about his cow trouble, then talk to a farmer in Nebraska about hydralic hoses and whiskey (had to be there), then debate the merits of a leadership review article with a farmer in Arizona. That is a small sample of the interactions. I did get a hate tweet about an article I linked to. The guy said “What a load full of manure, the stench is gagging me” but later he apologized. So I really haven’t had any bad experiences while using twitter. Sure there are people that I disagree with and you have to be skeptical with any information that is put out there. But the majority of the users I follow are good hearted folks. If not I just unfollow them. If you haven’t used twitter yet, I encourage you to create a profile and give it a go. You can put as much or as little time into it as you like. Just remember abbreviation is the key. You’ll catch on quick.
The following is some of the tweets that were posted in my timeline today. Leave your twitter name in the comments. So the readers and I can follow U.

Tell Your Farm’s Story

Posted in Farm Life by farmnwife

I have been working on a presentation that I will be giving to a county farm bureau group next week.  I gave it the title Tell Your Story with the subtitle “You Are Your Own Reality Show”. The group will hear about how important it is for farmers to tell their story to combat all the attacks on agriculture one farm at a time. Farmers are the ones who need to tell their story. It cannot be left up to an organization or association. The public won’t give them a quick glance. But they will respect information coming from the producers mouth.People want to know how food is produced. They want to know how a farm operates. Thinking of this as a reality show, you’ll see people want the inside view. What is really going on. This is what everyone in the ag sector needs to capitalize on, making it personal.

I’ll go through all the websites that I have made, starting from our first basic blog to producing a podcast. And what I have learned in between. The group will build their own site like our farm’s website. They will make it their own with photos and information about their farms. By telling their story, farmers can put a face on agriculture and make it real for the consumer.
