Now there is a great slap of truth! ” Nobody can argue with you if you say, “On my farm, we do this…” or “On my ranch, we do that…” That is your story, and your truth. You can find things in common with your consumers if you write about things they may be able to relate to. They won’t relate to farming, but if you develop a relationship with them over a common topic, you will be their trusted source when you do write about agriculture.” You said it so well.

I know agvocates need to be unified, but it gets muddied when we argue amongst ourselves about best practices esp with organics, GMOs, and pesticides (among others). Your quote there is exactly what http://www.ForFarmAndRanchWomen.com is doing. Please consider sharing this or other posts that will help us connect with each other, our consumers, and even adversaries.

Thanks for writing! I’m enjoying your work!
