Social Media Workshops & Webinars
Why should agriculture care about social media tools such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube? It’s simple: leading the conversation and going beyond the choir. If you’re not at the table, you can’t be a part of constructing the face of agriculture – nor can you counter the misinformation campaigns around food, fuel, feed or fiber. In Michele’s interactive, entertaining social media presentations, your audience will discover how to get started, use social media to give agriculture a voice in the conversation and become an “agvocate.”
