Farmers Are Turning To Facebook
Why have farmers become a growing segment of Facebook users?
A busy farmer’s life includes milking cows, plowing, gathering chicken eggs — and checking Facebook.
Why are agricultural growers now looking to the social networking site? “It’s an opportunity to reach out to to those who are in agriculture, to find out what they’re thinking, what issues are important to them,” farmer Steve Saufley told Virginia’s WHSV.
The grower says that Facebook helps him to keep current on industry practices and any regulatory changes that may affect him.
Since agriculture is the economic backbone in so many parts of this country and is an ever-changing industry, Saufley appreciates the fact that he can easily communicate with farmers everywhere.
