Shout Your Agriculture Story From The Barn Tops!

The number of people involved with production agriculture in the USA is about 2% of the population. The other 98% of Americans have a connection to food but few have a connection to agriculture. So how can farmers and ranchers build a greater awareness for what they do?

We received a note from a reader on a post about Jeff Simmons (President of Elanco, a division of Eli Lilly and Company) sharing how Elanco sales teams felt working in the animal agriculture industry (http://agtoday.us/o9s5gU ).

He highlighted many of the valued activities the poultry industry does and told of the positive efforts to continuously improve the industry.
