Thanks to Kyle Maw for reminding me about the Urban Cowboy and his blog. Owen Roberts was one of the judges of the AMS Idol competition at the Ag Media Summit btw. I’m looking forward to visiting the University of Guelph later this year (next month) to conduct a day long class in new media for graduate ag communications students. Glad to see you in the blogosphere Owen. Owen is a teacher of agricultural communications at the Ontario Agricultural College. He’s held the position of director of research communications at the University of Guelph for nearly 20 years, and started a program called Students Promoting Awareness of Research Knowledge (SPARK) which has been adopted by 20 other Canadian universities. Here’s what he’s trying to do on his blog.

This blog is designed to stimulate comments and dialogue on current agri-food issues. It’s mainly a collection of my weekly columns published Mondays in the Guelph Mercury, and Saturdays in the Woolwich Observer (in Elmira). Your comments are welcome. On the home page of this blog, you’ll see links to initiatives I’m involved in, and I welcome you to visit those websites.
