Extension Plans Communicating For The Farm Series
Montana State University Extension in Pondera County and Purdue Extension-Bartholomew County will offer a webinar series this month to help improve agricultural storytelling and communication skills. Adriane Good, MSU Extension agent in Pondera County, and Cora Carter, Purdue Extension educator in Bartholomew County, coordinated the series.
“We noticed that many agricultural producers want to engage with the public and share their story but have difficulties doing so. This series aims to help producers with skills to communicate effectively and present themselves professionally online when engaging with a non-agricultural-based public,” Good said.
On Thursday, June 10, Sara Hollenbeck of High Five Meats, which is based in Molt, will discuss how to present yourself online and what to share on social media to remain professional while still being authentic.
The session on Thursday, June 17, will be a skills practice session, with participants in small groups. Extension educators from Purdue and MSU will evaluate and participate in the discussions.
The webinar series will be hosted via Microsoft Teams, which allows participants to interact between sessions. If you are unfamiliar with Teams, an instructional video can be found at https:// www.montana.edu/office365/ teams/index.html. The webinar series is free, but registration is required at puext. in/comm4farm. For more information, contact Adriane Good at 406-271-4054.
