We've been given the gift of provision, the ability to provide food for ourselves and others. It is a responsibility we take seriously. It is our life, the life of our children and our grandchildren. #Lifeofafarmer #Godprovides #dairyfarmers #soilhealth #animalcare

Can anyone give me more information on the "culturally appropriate" aspect of food production and how to relate that to the consumer? #AAA20

[Ann Appel @AMAppel]

@animalag #AAA20 The importance of communicating why animal welfare matters to us beyond production efficiency. I read people's comments about farmers who care about profit over animal welfare and I read farmer's comments that we have to care for the animals if we want to stay in business.

@BuckeyeHannah Thank-you to everyone involved!

[Ann Appel @AMAppel]

A3 that's a hard one, they were all great! @AlanLevinovitz really gave me some food for thought. Some great takeaways in sessions 2 & 3 but I especially loved Candace Croney's talk! Very practical communication guidelines.

Sure, debates can be fun, but the problem with debates is that there is always a winner and a loser. Instead, we must engage in two-way dialog and listen to consumers. - Dr. Candace Croney #AAA20

[Ann Appel @AMAppel]

Farmers need to help consumers know why, outside of production efficiency, we care about animal welfare! #AAA20 Very insightful! Profit is not independent of animal welfare.

[Ann Appel @AMAppel]

#AAA20 balancing our values in food production is important. #sustainable #nutrient rich, affordable, culturally appropriate, and respectful of the #environment Thank-you @msmithedge

[Ann Appel @AMAppel]

#AAA20 Defining trending words! What's your definition of sustainable?

[Ann Appel @AMAppel]

Thought-provoking topic at #AAA20 with @AlanLevinovitz using "natural" as your guideline can create a "human influence is evil" morality.

Darigold expands production of FIT milk. Consumer demand for FIT is growing rapidly. To support the growth, Darigold will invest $67m in its Boise facility this year. https://t.co/AGeFFg6czp

Is it true? Do dairy farmers "steal her [a cow's] baby, even though her cries of anguish are unmistakable"? A few things to consider. https://t.co/PRII9SBDXw via @YouTube
