Farmers are Authentic Voices

Chuck Zimmerman

The farmers I know are “Authentic Voices” when they speak out on their industry – Agriculture. Thanks to a piece I got in the mail I just learned about Authentic Voices. Melanie Wilt wants to help farm organizations and their members. As the mailed piece says, “Free your farmers from the restraints of public opinion.” We’ve got so many great efforts underway to accomplish this. Perhaps your organization should give Melanie a call.

Authentic Voices is a combination of classroom and interactive programming that helps farmers own their voice to connect with the public. Advocates practice message development and delivery by working through real agriculture scenarios.

Melanie Wilt is the Owner and Chief Experience Officer of Wilt Public Relations, Inc. Melanie has over a decade of experience helping non-profits and state government as in-house counsel and as a consultant. She has served as Communication Director for the Ohio Department of Agriculture and technology start-up, non-profit Avetec.
