Addison and I attended a Young Cooperators meeting Thursday. These “YC” meetings, hosted by our milk co-op, are always a great learning and leadership-building opportunity for those of us in the 40 and younger crowd. This time was no exception! We were talking about social media and using it as a tool to reach out to our consumers. It really inspired me to start posting more about our farm and cows, I am the Farming Daughter after all!
My favorite part of the meeting was listening (and getting to talk to!!) our special guest speaker Carrie Mess. Carrie blogs over at The Adventures of Dairy Carrie and writes about farming on a 100 cow dairy in Southern Wisconsin. She had some great advice about “telling our story” and gave us the challenge (which I’m going to try) of posting at least once a week.
If you’ve never read her blog I suggest you check it out!
Here are a few of my personal favorite posts:

Thanks Em! I’ll still be posting about books, reenacting, etc., but be on the look out for more farming related posts soon!

I looked at one of “Dairy Carrie’s” blogs and video. I think a blog about the breeding and AI program would be interesting to readers.
