Strives to achieve is to provide a voice for agriculture in the industries and societies that wouldn't usually be exposed to the issues at hand. <br /><br />The self help and diet and cook book industry is massive in both the USA and the UK. We may look at face value like a pair of giggly blondes, but believe me, our agenda goes far beyond just promoting the tryptophan diet plan. On the back of our books success, we plan to promote the interests of the ethical farmer.Kem Minnick and Tabitha Farrarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03901726858722061346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3531617304191579626.post-33121798115350362912011-06-14T10:46:45.282-06:002011-06-14T10:46:45.282-06:00I absolutely agree with this post.

It is up to the many farmers and ranchers who love what we do, to get out there and be heard, to let the consumers hear our story, and to show them all just how awesome agriculture is!<br /><br />Thanks for the awesome blog, and great post!Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09612915958358058760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3531617304191579626.post-55149259297281302332011-02-22T22:42:51.124-07:002011-02-22T22:42:51.124-07:00I wish you had a twitter button so I could share t...I wish you had a twitter button so I could share this article on twitter!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07389676687837120420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3531617304191579626.post-14444068013694507602011-02-22T10:12:46.048-07:002011-02-22T10:12:46.048-07:00I couldn't agree more, we can speak for oursel...I couldn't agree more, we can speak for ourselves since it's us who knows the truth.Maryhttp://www.the-rabbit-hutch-shop.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3531617304191579626.post-38272226700183751742011-02-21T19:55:33.420-07:002011-02-21T19:55:33.420-07:00I second a "We are the World" concert! ;...I second a "We are the World" concert! ;)City Life to Ranching Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08651165078550967939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3531617304191579626.post-30977337706857334102011-02-16T09:04:54.307-07:002011-02-16T09:04:54.307-07:00It might be hard to believe these days but there a...It might be hard to believe these days but there are celebrities that are involved in agriculture. Mathew McConaughey is partners on a ranch with his family and the lead singer of Alabama is a big Hereford & Angus Guy. They just aren't as vocal as the D-list celebrities that need the attention. I agree we need to tell our story but it would help if we had some people helping with a voice that carries a little further.<br /><br />McConaughey 's ranch:<br />http://www.lpangusranch.com/staff.html<br /><br />Randy Owens:<br />http://www.tennesseerivermusic.com/index.htmlsaranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3531617304191579626.post-46300002402679424582011-02-15T21:07:53.862-07:002011-02-15T21:07:53.862-07:00Great point about we are the spokepeople for ag.

I do think there could be some work done to organize and coordinate those in ag to gain more exposure via larger media channels; those "The More You Know" like spots on NBC. Or, a "We Are The World" like concert, bringing in farmers/ranchers to celebrate ag:)John Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01448427595108990177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3531617304191579626.post-53485212894998145432011-02-15T10:17:20.171-07:002011-02-15T10:17:20.171-07:00Troy,

Why should we settle for a single spokesperson when we can have millions that have an actual personal connection with our consumers. <br /><br />You don't have to be famous to be a great spokesperson for ag. Just be real.DLDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13658144115303080897noreply@blogger.com
