ABSTRACT INFORMATION
'Farmers are Consumers, too (telling ag's story to the non-ag consumer)'

Research shows that sharing common values is the most important thing we, as agriculturists, can do to convey our message about agriculture. This workshop will help you share your knowledge about ag to an expanded group...parents, co-workers and friends...as we look at research and talk about real-life experiences.
