Confirms my suspicion that what I really need to do in order to get pinners to my blog is spend more time on Pinterest. Maybe if I rename my Our Farm board to My Blog or something for starters? Plus all these other great tips!
Thanks #GeekGirl! You've certainly be a big help to me, but don't worry because I'm sure I've got more questions for you in the future! I've been able to help some people here and there as well to get on their social media feet. Did you know Jay will be a speaker at this year's AgChat Foundation Conference?
@Asad, I have no experience with irrigation myself. The name that comes to mind for me though is Valley. Thanks for reading. Where do you farm?
@biggreenpen Thanks! And what happens in the rest of the world has an effect here. Right now the South American crop is having a large effect on grain markets since the US ran short with the 2012 drought.
@elizabeth osborn Quite a large effect, and that's why I'm active online talking about my farm and farming in general. Many people have no idea what it is I really do, and I've learned I often have no idea what non-farm people's perspectives might be about what I do. We can all benefit from having a good conversation.
If you've got any questions, Elizabeth, please ask!
Great picture! LOL
Great tips! I'm proud to say I think I already follow them. Things I've learned from following people like those on 12 Most!
@ginidietrich Here are a few links about things that go into effect in 2013. http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2012/07/05/five-major-obamacare-taxes-that-will-hit-your-wallet-in-2013/ http://mobile.businessweek.com/articles/2012-10-04/what-obamacare-means-for-small-employers-in-2013 The increased Medicare payroll tax seems to be the thing so many people are concerned about. That's the big thing that begins in January.
Several of the new regulations in the healthcare law go into effect in January 2013. That's why we are seeing so much about this after the election into the end of the year.
@Danielle Reeser Wow, I'd be honored if you did!
@Jenni Warthan thanks. We don't have livestock either. We did raise hogs until about five years ago, but it was time to start from scratch or get out. We tore down the last 35 year old building a year ago.
@quicklunarcop Thanks! I'd say things in Canada are very much like they are in the United States. You might like the post I wrote about farm tech as well. http://12most.com/2012/03/12/advanced-agricultural-technologies/
@nightrainmoon13 Hail Purdue and Go Colts!
Interesting info about Mr. Dawnson. I was only five at the end of the original Family Feud run, so I'm not sure but I may have first seen him in "The Running Man" with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Of course thanks to the beauty of reruns, I've seen much of his great game show work. No wonder he was able to pull of the role of host so well in the movie!
Love G+! I keep forgetting about ripples so thanks for the reminder.
I pretty much avoid semicolon situations as well. I just thought of a trick to remember how to properly use both affect and effect. I just think of special effect to remember it's a noun as opposed to special affect.
@dbvickery Thanks for reading! I've got to admit we have some pretty cool toys to play with. I thought of a new use for a camera today I may have to try!
@janetcallaway That's awesome! I actually set my blog up with my phone on our last night in Hawaii last February when I couldn't sleep. Our relatives have a farm on Maui. http://thefarmerslife.wordpress.com/2011/02/24/farming-island-style/
@janetcallaway Oooh tomato tech! There are lots of tomatoes not far from here, but I'm not very familiar with production methods. I brought the planter to it's new home just today!
