This evening I’ll be moderating the weekly AgChat conversation on Twitter. I hope you’ll tune in and participate. Our topic is farm safety. Next week is National Farm Safety & Health Week so we thought it would be timely, especially with harvest underway in many areas.

I’ve got a number of questions to pose during the session but feel free to email me any you have or DM them directly to the AgChat Twitter Account.

If you can participate I recommend you use a web service like Twubs or TweetChat. You can also just search Twitter for the AgChat hashtag which is #AgChat. Make sure you use it in your tweets from 8-10pm ET this evening. I hope to see you there!
