I enjoyed another great AgChat session tonight. This time the focus was on Food, Inc. the movie. You can follow back through the conversation via Twitter.

It was obvious that most of us participating haven’t had a chance to see the movie yet but you can watch the trailer and read around their website or get the associated book to get a pretty good feel for what it’s about. After reading along with the comments posted, including from those who have seen it I think farmers should be pretty concerned if the movie “gets legs.” There is apparently a lot of misinformation from activists who want to promote their viewpoint in a sensational way without concern for facts or context for the presentation. I hope to get to see it so I can comment from a more informed viewpoint although I understand why one person who participated doesn’t want to see something that appears to be so obviously anti-ag.

Thanks again to Michele Payn-Knoper for moderating. Also feel free to check out AgChat on Facebook.
