effective blogs, tweets and email campaigns. Targeting farmers, AgChat
offers real help with social advertising. AgChat's advantage over many other
attempts to connect farmers into social media. AgChat is a Foundation with
sponsors who pay to help make it meet farmers' social media needs.
Agvocacy offers Agchat, a weekly twitter
chat at 8 pm Eastern time, where all a person has to do is log in to Twitter or
go to the Agvocacy website.
Agvocacy defines #AgChat as "a weekly moderated conversation on
Twitter for people in the business of raising food, feed, fuel, fiber."
Visitors can share viewpoints and ideas about issues impacting agriculture,
such as sustainability, water, communications, agronomy, animal welfare, USDA
programs, mainstream media coverage and public perceptions of farming; or, they
can just sit back and watch the conversation unfold.
Sister chat, #FoodChat, also a creation
of Agvocacy, takes place on the third
Tuesday of each month. It is tailored more specifically to the interests of
consumers, nutrition professionals, foodies and influencers of food choices. #FoodChat gives its
followers an opportunity to “meet a farmer” and also helps those in agriculture
learn from consumers.
