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

Step beyond your comfort zone
August 19th, 2011
Just over a year ago I started out on a new journey into the unknown universe called “Social Media”. Through previous employment, I had some experience with traditional media and enjoyed it. However, the whole social media craze was unknown to me. I knew some people who spent a lot of time on a platform

I was very fortunate to have gotten involved with the AgChat Foundation last spring by volunteering on the Agvocacy 2.0 Training Conference Committee for planning last summer’s event in Chicago, Ill. While working with the other members of the committee, I thought we had planned a terrific conference and I was right. I will have

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.
