Tune your phone lines to a special event this August 6th, as some of the ag industry’s brightest social media minds converge in one jam packed tele-seminar. Hosted by, Aggie-Lance.com, this seminar will feature Chuck Zimmerman from Agwired.com and Zimmcomm.biz, John Blue from Truffle Media, and Liza Markle from the National FFA Organization. The topic at hand: What is social media, and WHY do we need to be using it in the agriculture industry today? Expect to come away with a couple tangible ideas that you can apply straight away!
Social Media has grabbed hold of the marketing world – yet in traditional fashion, the Agriculture Industry is one of the last ones to catch on. It doesn’t have to be this way! Are you prepared to bridge the generation gap by facing the facebook crowd? Did you know your business can benefit by using this online social media tool? There are more than 72 Million blogs on the internet, does my company really need one…and can it help our marketing? Now wait a second, that YouTube thing is just for kids right? And pod casting is only for people with iPods, if I am not mistaken. “Don’t fool yourself; there is business value in just about every aspect of social media.” Says Mark Jewell of Aggie-Lance.com, “this tele-seminar will help people to better understand the world of social media.

Short post: Social media is media that brings people together to share thoughts and ideas.
Don't get caught up in the technology!
* Focus on where you want to be.
* You can not control the message, even though you think you can. People will talk, so instead of with you, they will talk without you elsewhere.
Where do I hangout?
* Smaller Indiana (http://www.smallerindiana.com/profile/johnblue), a place to discover ideas and meet interesting people in central Indiana.
* LinkedIN (http://www.linkedin.com/in/johnblue),on of my professional social network connector.
* Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=697265099), is a place I browse to keep up with a selected group of people.
* Indiana Health Industry Forum (http://www.ihif.org/): They sponsor a life sciences lunch at Barnes & Thornburg downtown plus other events through out the year. This is live in person group!
Two things to do to get involved with social networking?
* Participate! Find something you are interested in a join. On Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/) there are many groups for many interests.
* Learn: Check out the Financial Aid Podcast (http://www.financialaidpodcast.com/) as a great example of utilizing the technology tools to bring people together. Read Chris Brogan (http://www.chrisbrogan.com/) and his efforts to connect people. Listen to Marketing Over Coffee (http://www.marketingovercoffee.com/) to discover what people are up to in the new media space.
What does this mean for you in the agriculture industry?
* Have you joined an a Facebook group aligned with an ag school: Example: Purdue (http://www.facebook.com/pages/West-Lafayette-IN/Purdue-University/14470704276) Can't find a group? Create your own!
* Check out the Global Farm Machinery (http://agmachine.ning.com/) group on Ning (search for agriculture http://www.ning.com/?view=search&term=agriculture). Start your own group to share ideas on ag production or management.
* Sign up to the Dairy Forum (http://www.dairyforums.com/forums/) to learn more and share about dairy production.

* Read and participate in the Farm Journal Media AgWeb blogs (http://www.ffa.org/index.cfm?method=c_students.NationalOfficers).
* Check out the web sites for crop (http://delicious.com/trufflemedia/cropvillage), beef (http://delicious.com/trufflemedia/beefcast), dairy (http://delicious.com/trufflemedia/dairycast), poultry (http://delicious.com/trufflemedia/poultrycast), and swine (http://delicious.com/trufflemedia/swinecast).
