Keeping Up with the KC

2021 started off like no other year for the Farm Credit of the Virginias’ Knowledge Center team. For those of you who have been following along, the team developed the “AgCast,” a monthly broadcast that features industry experts in various commodities and/or sectors across the footprint in 2020. The broadcast was designed for audience members to join by computer or from their phone while in the field. Participants receive industry updates, discussion around hot topics and additional resource opportunities. To learn more on the topic discussed each month and to keep your finger on the pulse, sign up by visiting our website FarmCreditofVirginias.com and choose the “Knowledge Center” tab.

Just as it is important for producers to stay up to date in the marketplace, it is vitally important that those in agriculture share their story and the agriculture story. In 2020, the Knowledge Center team offered two advocacy series that featured both nationally and locally recognized agriculture experts who spoke to the skills, tools and techniques on how to effectively share your agricultural voice.

“Our industry relies on the ability to share our voice around production practices, stewardship, husbandry and much more. The advocacy series provided me with the tools and confidence to be a voice for our industry. I will strive to be a better advocate and to provide insight into our family’s operation. American agriculture supplies the most nutritious, highest quality and the safest food, fiber and fuel in the world and we need to shout it from the barn roofs,” says a past advocacy participant.

Our team is excited to announce that we will be hosting our third advocacy series this May. Be sure to stay tuned for dates and the speaker lineup through our website, social media channels as well as our KConnection newsletter.
