I’m likely the only mum of two young kids that you’ll see taking pictures of weed seedlings on the way to the park. I do it for a few reasons. One, I work in farm media, you never know when you’re going to need a really great shot of a lamb’s quarters seedling (trust me,… Read More

Just when you thought things couldn’t get any weirder… A new, free app for Androids and iPhones has been launched. The app, christened “Buycott,” and developed by Buycott Inc. (an overwhelming amount of creativity, I know), allows users to join a number of campaigns of their choice and make purchase decisions based on the “campaign… Read More
Some advertisements can be poor, good, great, funny, sell tonnes of product and some are just plain cool. I picked up this video tonight in the Western Producer’s twitter feed talking about transformers and farming. Being the nerd I am, I checked it out. WOW!!!!

Ah, we love us a good parody video here at RealAgriculture.com. This latest farm-themed video comes from Derek Klingenberg of Klingenberg Farms, based at Kansas. Based on “Thrift Shop” by Macklemore, a rather, um, expletive riddled song, Ranching Awesome takes it 180 degrees and makes it all about the family ranch. Enjoy! For the Peterson… Read More
Here at RealAgriculture, we love us some social media. Because of that we often get asked: “Who should I follow on Twitter?” We gave it a bit of thought, and while we’d love to suggest you follow all 6,000 of our followers, we decided to put together a short list of people and organizations to… Read More
