Join us at foodchat tomorrow night

Normally on Mondays, I share an agricultural website of interest with readers. Today, I am sharing the personal video invitation from Shaun Haney (@shaunhaney) to join the agriculture and foodie communities on twitter tomorrow night from 8 to 10 PM ET. Our topic of conversation is Christmas baking and should be a great evening to learn some new skills and pick up a recipe or two. Be sure to follow @foodchat and follow tweets with the #foodchat hashtag. (An even easier way to follow is to sign into tweetchat.com or twubs.com and enter foodchat as the hashtag you want to follow.) See you there!

Monday's agriculture website: Christmas tree facts

Learn about Christmas trees and more on today's agriculture themed website. The National Agriculture Library has an all inclusive page of links to information about Christmas trees, other holiday themed plants, and decorations. There are tips for keeping your tree looking great while it's on display along with advice for how to plant your live tree after December. Readers can also get helpful hints on keeping your holiday decorations safe. Readers can also enjoy a list of organic Christmas tree growers to purchase a tree from.

Monday's agriculture website of interest: CHRISTMAS TREE FACTS

For those new to the Cow Art and More blog, every Monday, Kathy shares a different agriculture themed website with readers.

With Christmas coming this week, I thought it would be fun to share with everyone some Christmas tree facts from the University of Illinois extension. The website details information from the most popular trees and states they are grown in to when the first tree was decorated and lit in honor of Christmas.

Happy decorating!
