What is a blog?   Short for “web log”.  It’s a website that is very easy to update.  Every farmer needs their own website, to tell their story about  farming,  their ideas, and issues effecting them.  Its a great way to showcase farm produce and services,  make new friends, network with other farmers and new customers. But more than this, as farmers we have a responsibility to be advocates for agriculture.
