I attended the Hoosier Ag Today Symposium yesterday, April 28th. I have attached a link to their site so you can sign up to receive their email newsletter. This is an up-to-date daily newsletter that covers current events, the weather, and links to other great information. Gary Truitt did a great job planning the day including a great lunch. I was able to connect with a number of people that may serve to help Putnam County Farm Bureau with getting their Farm information to the public. One connection was learning that WREB carries Hoosier Ag Today programs and I will be listing those times in upcoming blogs. Another connection was with staff from Indiana Farm Bureau where we were able to get this blog linked on the Indiana Farm Bureau website. Another radio station I became aware of was WCBK 102.3 and WCLS 97.7 which covers the southern part of Putnam County enabling us to connect with them in broadcasting local information through their Public Service Announcements. The meeting detailed a lot of statistics concerning what would work best to get information to the most farmers. One thing this blog will continue to try and do is provide valuable farm information that local farmers can use as well as information for the public to learn more about Agriculture. We will also try and announce local Ag Events as we become aware of them. Putnam Co. Farm Bureau will continue to expand it's presence on the web as we look to develop a website in the future along with the possibility of our own e-newsletter emailed to those who wish to receive it.
Please feel free to comment on this newsletter idea as this might be something very exciting to add to our program. Putnam County Farm Bureau would like to congratulate all the graduates of Putnam County as they complete their final year of High School or College.
