Chicago

As you are reading this, I am excited to inform you that I am in Chicago attending the first ever AgChat Foundation Agvocacy 2.0 Training Conference.  This is a conference limited to 50 participants who were chosen to attend by submitting an application.  It's a two day conference focused on social media use for farmers.

I want to thank my sponsors, for without them I would not have been able to attend.
DMI ~ Dairy Management Incorporated for covering all of my travel expenses {thanks Jolene}
and
DFA ~ Dairy Farmers of America for covering the attendance cost of the conference {thanks Monica}

Special thanks to Michele Payn-Knoper and Marilyn & George Mertens for asking these organizations for sponsorship on my behalf.

Stay tuned!  I will try to post some previews from Chicago!

Happy Monday!

I hope you have a great time in Chicago and feel inspired! We were there last week, and I am always in love with Chicago. However, I am also glad when I return home to the peace and quiet of our farm.

So THRILLED to hear you in Chicago to take part in this training. I wasn't able to attend but I have a few friends that I told to come meet you! Can't wait to hear all that you learned.
