“Your dumb-phone is not welcome here!” I have heard these words and felt left out when it comes to connectivity with mobile technology. As a response, I say my “dumb-phone” keeps me just as connected and more focused while on the go. True, my phone may not access the internet from the tractor seat, but

You never know where your story might take you
September 25th, 2011
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

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

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.
