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.
