June 16, 2010 (AgNewsWire) – Farmers from even the most remote small towns are engaging life-long city dwellers in stories of their farm through social media sites like Twitter and Facebook. These conversations are at the core of building understanding of agriculture by the 98 percent of Americans not living on the farm. Improving individual effectiveness is the goal of the AgChat Foundation’s first training session to help farmers be more effective in telling their personal story. The conference will be held August 30-31 in Chicago.
