Last week I was at an ag planning meeting for a five state conference and I used the word "agvocate". Everyone was impressed with the term and wanted to "steal" it to use in their vocabulary.
Their reaction to my term got me thinking. If they haven't ever heard of it, how many people have? So I googled the term "agvocate" and this is what I came up with.
1. http://agvocatefarmer.blogspot.com/ A blog about a farmer being an agvocate.
2. http://www.causematters.com/ This great website about the big picture view of agriculture to serve as resources for ag and urban communities. You will find many agvocate blogs, articles, links to other website and more from different regions of the country including several right here in Nebraska.
3.http://agchat.org/ A website about empowering agriculture advocates.
These are only a couple among the many websites, facebook and twitter accounts from agvocates. I encourage you to check them out and learn how to be an "agvocate" using social media. If nothing else. Learn brush up on your agriculture.
If you aren't speaking up for agriculture, then who is?
