Monday's agriculture website - Farmer Bloggers

Have you ever wondered what happens on the farm?  Do you want to know how the milk gets from the cow to you?  What does a rancher ride the prairie for?  If you've ever wondered about this or other farm and food questions, head over to the Farmers Blog, a collection of farmer blogs in  "one stop shop" setting.

The group of blogs consists of several farms and ranches from the California Valleys and Mountains to the Midwest plains, organic, conventional, large, small, grain, livestock and more.   Click here to see a complete list of the farmers and their backgrounds.

Want to get a little closer to the farms and farmers that produce your food? Want to hear about their daily lives and what it's like to be in their shoes (or boots as the case may be)? Then check out the list of farm and ranch blogs on the Cause Matters blog maintained by Michele Payn-Knoper (@mpaynknoper). The list includes blogs from dairy and beef farmers, wine makers, and grain farmers. Many of these blogs include pictures and videos detailing daily farm and family life.

Monday's agriculture website of interest: REAL AGRICULTURE

Today's agricultural website of interest comes from "north of the border". The Real Agriculture blog is maintained by Shaun Haney, a seed farmer and self proclaimed "agnerd". Shaun, along with six other contributors, write regular blog posts about the Canadian agriculture situation.

In addition to blogging about the news as it affects Canadian agriculture, Shaun also blogs about the insights to those news and opinions. Although the site is a bit informal in its writing style, it focuses on current events and reporting to and from a farmer level. On a lighter note, one of my favorite posts was a video taken by Shaun at the 2010 NCBA conference in San Antonio. The video details, "What to consider when buy a cowboy hat."
