Excellent article! The goal of Prior to the Plate AgriTours, LLC is to do exactly what was outlined in this article! Please join us for a fun, interactive farm tour as we share farm stories and show how food is produced. #agriculture #foodproduction #farmers #consumers

[The Center for Food Integrity @foodintegrity]

65% of consumers want to know more about where their food comes from. Yet, many have never even been on a farm. How can we bridge this gap? @roxibeck shares why transparency is key. >> https://t.co/m1slpX84Gl via @dtnpf @myersPF

Great article! We especially like this statement: "Ultimately, we’ve got to think about our end user...I think there’s an opportunity to continue to have the dialogue with consumers to be open, to talk to them about these processes and what it entails." #agritourism #Dairy

Beautiful day for corn harvest! The farmers need this weather to continue in MN - there are a lot of crops still in the field. Stay safe everyone! #Harvest19 #MNag #priortotheplate

Excited to start Day 5 of #FoodAgIdeasweek! The entrepreneur workshop on Friday was excellent and I expect today to be equally fabulous! Thanks @grownorthmn for an amazing week of education and networking!

[Texas Farm Bureau @TexasFarmBureau]

#ModernAg is efficient.

Today’s farmers produce 262% more food with 2% fewer inputs compared with 1950.

But less than 2% of the U.S. population are farmers and ranchers.
