Last summer, NutriDense Silage held the Web Moo.0 Contest, sending winner Ashley Messing to the inaugural AgChat Foundation Conference Agvocacy 2.0. What’s Ashley been up to since then?
It’s crazy to think it’s been six months since I made my trip to Chicago for the first ever AgChat Foundation Conference Agvocacy 2.0. Since then my life has been kicked into high gear, and I have been enjoying every minute of it. Shortly before the conference I began my new job as a Dairy Service Specialist for Central and West Michigan with Vita Plus. I am greatly enjoying learning something new every day, and it certainly is keeping me busy.
At the conference I gained a great deal of knowledge and advice on how to take my blogging, tweeting and Facebooking to the next level. I use these skills on a daily basis when thinking of blog topics and ways to promote agriculture online. I’ve been working to bring more diversity to my blog topics and the formats I use to engage readers. Although I have run into some technical difficulties, I am working through them and hope to have videos and radio briefs on my blog shortly.
As always, I am trying to find ways to reach outside of agriculture and teach consumers about agriculture. I am working on several how-to pieces for my blog that will show them how we work hard to produce a high-quality, wholesome product for them to consume. Soon I am scheduled to guest blog on a couple of other sites to promote ag and talk about my journey back to the dairy industry.
Here’s the link to Ashely’s blog, Dairy Innovation.
