USDA Resumes #MyFarmBill Social Media Campaign

By Amanda Brodhagen, Farms.com

Congress is back to work tackling the farm bill, while the U.S. Department of Agriculture aims to create buzz around the subject with its social media campaign called #MyFarmBill.

The campaign asks rural stakeholders to share why the farm bill is important to them. The Twitter hashtag #MyFarmBill was created, but all social media platforms are encouraged, including Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack issued the social media challenge back in September, when he urged agricultural supporters to begin a dialogue about what’s at stake without the creation of a new five-year farm bill. The USDA has begun a Storify board, a tool which pieces together a story based on social media discussions and interactions. You can see the live story board by clicking here.

Join in on the discussion. Who knows, maybe agriculture tweeps can get #MyFarmBill hashtag trending on Twitter? It’s worth a shot.
