#FDThanks: Farm and Dairy’s Thanksgiving Day tables

It’s that time of year again: the time that we acknowledge all of the things we’re thankful for.

To do that this year, we took a cue from the folks at the AgChat Foundation, which was built from weekly agriculture discussions on Twitter. The foundation’s purpose is to equip farmers and ranchers with the social media skills to effectively share their story.

Several years ago, the foundation started #FoodThanks, a hashtag used to show appreciation for food and those who provide it.

To show their appreciation, social media savvy eaters or farmers often pin recipes, share photos, and simply say “thanks” on various social media platforms by using the hashtag.

You can join the #foodthanks Twitter chat and Google Hangout, Thursday, Nov. 21 at 8/7 CST.
