Speaker Announcement
We are very excited to have Andrew Campbell as our keynote speaker on Thursday evening. Andrew is a farmer, with a passion for agriculture advocacy, social
media and new technology. With the farm, he and his family milk
holsteins and grow cash crop and forages in Southern Ontario’s Middlesex
County. With all kinds of information available about modern farms, and
not all of it being true, Andrew is keen to make sure people get the
full story on what farmers do on a daily basis, why they do it and what
they care about. He’s been featured on CBC, CTV, and other media outlets
across Canada for his work in opening up his farm with pictures on
social media as the FreshAirFarmer. He’ll highlight the important
opportunities and challenges of social media in the Ag industry, and
help AMC members better understand how to use it by walking delegates
through a live Twitter demonstration. Follow Andrew on Twitter at ..
More speaker announcements will be made in the coming weeks.
