Everybody loves corn

Everybody loves corn
After I walked the corn field next to the barn, I thought it was fitting to give the steers a little snack.

How Can You Tell Your Story

As part of our project on Agvocating, Sam and I are hosting an event on the ATI campus.  We are having 3 guest speakers coming and talking about how we can use social media and to educate us about the Ohio Livestock Care Standards Board.

Dan Toland a communications specialist with The Ohio Farm Bureau, is going to be talking about how we as producers can use social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and different blogging sites to tell our story and let our voices be heard.

Leah Dorman D.V.M. from the Ohio Farm Bureau is well versed with issues dealing with The Ohio Livestock Care Standards Board and is going to be talking about how important it is, and what we as young producers need to learn from it.

Finally Dr. Bobby Moser Dean of the College of Food Agriculture and Environmental Sciences at The Ohio State University will be talking about what the Livestock Care Board is, how it came to be, and why it is so important that we have the Livestock Care Board.

The event is Tuesday May, 17th at The Ohio State University Agricultural Technical Institute in Skou Hall room 100, with refreshments starting at 6:30pm and the presentations for the night starting at 7pm.  Everyone that is willing to learn about the Livestock Care Standards Board and wanting to learn how to positively use social media to promote agriculture is welcome to come.
