Hay! Have you HERD that I’m working on a project about ag literacy? ❤️ I need your help! I want to learn more about people’s perceptions of agriculture, so I created a survey. 1/2 #BTF22

Even as a whole, the ag industry needs to be transparent and show others what happens in agriculture.🤝 I’m currently studying ag communications because my passion is sharing the story of agriculture.🐥🐖🐄 5/5

There’s a place for communications in agriculture. Ag companies and nonprofits need to spread the word about their work through advertisement, press releases, and social media posts.👩‍💻 4/

You’ve probably heard of communications. 🗣 But what is it and how does it relate to agriculture? Essentially, communication is the imparting or exchanging of information. We all engage in communication by talking 🎙and using social media! 1/ #BTF22 #Communication #agriculture

This also goes to show just how much we need ag education and ag literacy!

It’s hard to think of an industry more dependent on technology and progress than agriculture. And not to mention the fact that thanks to this technology, less than 2% of the US population is able to feed the entire country.
