Telling Your Farm’s Story
Who is telling your farm’s story?
In a growing digital world, farmers have more tools to help shape the narrative around their operation.
As consumers demand more transparency about where their food comes from, there is a greater need for producers to share their story, and to promote their products and everyday practices on the farm.
Veteran journalist, storyteller and cattle producer Craig Lester shares tips on the opportunities for agriculture producers to tell their stories and enhance their operations.
