And another farm group blog has been born. This time it’s Iowa Farm Bureau with the Farm Fresh Blog.

Welcome to Farm Fresh, Iowa Farm Bureau’s blog about the people who bring you your food, fuel and fiber and the issues they face. With so much information available to consumers today, it can be daunting to separate fact from fiction. It is our hope that this blog can introduce you to the faces behind your food and shed some light on questions you may have about how it is grown and raised and what that means to you.

We also hope that this new blog will help readers gain a better understanding of our organization, the Iowa Farm Bureau. We are farmers, sure; but we’re also you; teachers, bankers, accountants, artists, parents, grandparents, caretakers of people, animal and land. We are 153,000 member families strong and growing. We have members from every corner of Iowa who are working together to help farmers and rural communities prosper, improve the quality of life for all Iowans, and supporting our youth.

Meet the bloggers (I love transparency). They put their comment policy right out on the homepage (more on internal page too):

Farm Fresh encourages readers to comment and engage in respectful conversation about the content posted here. We value thoughtful, polite and concise comments that reflect a variety of views. To achieve that, all comments will be moderated prior to posting.

They allow comments – hint, hint. Not everyone does. They’ve got photos on Flickr and they’re using Twitter. What do you think?
