We’re about to kick off National Farm-City Week in Lancaster, PA. The event is an annual symposium that includes a luncheon. “The purpose of this Symposium is to explore friendly methods that can help assist the urban media when preparing news or feature stories that could significantly and negatively impact farmers, ranchers and the many agribusiness industries. “

Of course I’ll be mentioning efforts like AgChat and the AgChat Foundation. It should be interesting to hear the perspective from other panelists. We’ll be live on AgriTalk this morning at 10:06am, central time. So tune us in!

I spoke with the National Farm-City Council Chairman, Al Pell, this morning. He explains the purpose of the organization and how important it is to foster better communications between rural and urban consumers. You can listen to my interview with Al here: Interview with Al Pell
