@em_krekelberg As a mother if I saw that my partner did that with our kid I would kick his a$$! The things people will do for a like continues to amaze me.

@brigid_tuck Absolutely! I think the best part of our jobs is going to all of the different communities and learning about their strengths and successes. Rural Minnesota is VIBRANT! #MinnesotaInCommon

A2: Living in rural west central Minnesota people are often surprised by the diversity in our communities. We have immigrants and refugees from many parts of the world. I never know who I am going to meet or what I will learn today. #MinnesotaInCommon

[Christy Kallevig @cakallevig]

Excited to join in the #MinnesotaInCommon conversation. I'm Christy Kallevig, an @UMNExt educator in leadership and civic engagement with @UMN_Ext_CV. I work with @MARLprogram , Vital Connections on Air, and the 3000 alumni from our Center around the state.

@BecherEmily @mkatras @Em_Wilmes I almost pulled out a Step Brothers quote as my counter.

I enjoyed the opportunity to get to know Bruce during my first year with MARL. I will miss our conversations about the Sunburg hills and ag advocacy.

[Minnesota Farmers Union @MNFarmersUnion]

It is with heavy hearts we share that MFU Membership, Outreach and @MinnesotaCooks Director Bruce Miller passed away last night. A farm kid from central MN, he dedicated his life to fighting for social justice, including as a part of our team. He will be deeply missed.

Art in rural communities is vital and as a recovering dance mom I believe in the power of movement. Enjoyed hearing @DanceBarn speak about their mission @RuralAssembly Rural Women’s Summit. Thanks for your work in Minnesota’s communities! #RuralWomenLead

[Christy Kallevig @cakallevig]

Ready to be a part of the first ever Rural Women’s Summit! The room is filled with engaged, powerful, and nurturing women. And some cool guys as well. #RuralWomenLead

74% of farmers & farmworkers say they have been directly impacted by the opioid epidemic. @MNFarmBureau @UMNExtFD @MinnesotaDHS

@Westacre2CJ Not exactly the right apparel for the job but I’ll make it work. Hope things are going well for you guys!

[Christy Kallevig @cakallevig]

First time I’m going to say it’s good that we have a few days of rain. I need them so I can learn to manage this contraption. This silly thing won’t keep me out of the tractor cab or the classroom. #harvest2019 #cantstopthiseducator #gravitytest

[Christy Kallevig @cakallevig]

Research is vital to helping us succeed. We should all be concerned about the loss of knowledge that the agency is experiencing and what that means for the future of agriculture. https://t.co/kBD8nQDAPS

@MNFarmLiving She is the best! Have you watched her special on Netflix? It’s wonderful!

Ah harvest....the time of year when women dehydrate themselves to avoid having to run into the shrinking supply of cornstalks all for the sake of feeding the world. #harvest2019 #farmherproblems

[Jon Dickson @FarmerJuan]

I hope in 25+ years some young farmer is complaining about the weather/harvest and I can tell them this is nothing...let me tell you about 2019.
