AgriTalk is streaming live from the National Farm-City Week Symposium. Tune us in.

Post Update: Our session is over but will be archived on AgriTalk.com as soon as they can get it edited. I’ll post a link to it when I get it. Thank to AgriTalk producer, John Herath, for the Twitpic photo.

We had a great panel discussion on how and why we should “AgVocate” using social media channels. Lots of talk about the need to be proactive, truthful, honest and transparent and not be afraid to speak up in the face of our critics. When it comes to social media, farmers should consider getting started with an option like Facebook or Twitter and look to their farm groups and neighbors (family too) to help them get started.
