After missing it the last couple weeks I got to participate in tonight’s AgChat session on animal ag via Twitter. Here’s the questions posed.

Q1: Should we have a #farmfact and/or #foodfact day each week? Which day & which tag best for educating non-ag?
Q2: Should NAIS be voluntary or mandatory? Why?
Q3: Is it possible to be for MCOOL but opposed to mandatory NAIS? Why?
Q4: What are the existing humane standards for animal care and transport?
Q5: How has Prop 2 impacted animal ag in California?
Q6: What are the top technologies that have positively impacted the dairy and beef cattle industries?

It was another great session. You can read back through it via Twitter Search.

We need to thank Michele Payn-Knoper for once again being the “chat herder” for #AgChat. You can follow her on Twitter at @mpaynknoper. This week we had a co-host, Kathy Swift.

As you can imagine, our questions were sure to generate some discussion and show how many different opinions there are on this subject while also giving any non-ag folks watching some new perspective on issues they have no personal experience with.

If you participated or have read back through the discussion what do you think? Also feel free to check out AgChat on Facebook.
