#AgChat & #Foodchat Resource Page

#AgChat is a weekly moderated conversation on Twitter for people in the business of raising food, feed, fuel, fiber. Similar to conversations at the local grain elevator or coffee shop, only AgChat is virtual. Participants on Twitter share viewpoints and ideas about the issues impacting agriculture, such as mainstream media coverage, sustainability, antibiotics, advocacy best practices, agronomy, animal welfare, USDA programs, bioenergy and perceptions of farming. It's fast-paced, thought-provoking and incredibly rewarding to see agriculturists discuss tough issues.

You are invited to join in every Tuesday, 8-10 p.m. Eastern Time. #FoodChat happens the third Tuesday of each month to connectthose with an interest in food with the people who raise it. Follow @agchat (http://twitter.com/agchat) or @foodchat (http://twitter.com/foodchat) and see the links below if you need more help getting started. Poke around the archives to see the conversation in action and then come be a part of the community.
