CommonGround Minnesota debuts new website
CommonGround Minnesota is a group of farm women who volunteer their time to share information about food and farming. To more effectively promote those conversations, the group debuted a new website earlier this month.
The website now features a blog sharing topics from modern agriculture that would be of interest to the non-farming public, like how to better understand meat labels, a look at cover crops and other conservation tactics and a dive into what happens on an organic farm. A number of videos were also added to the website providing visitors an up close look at what happens on a modern farm.
An FAQ section answers the questions posed by those who want to know more about what they are feeding their family, like just how concerned consumers should be about antibiotics in meat or the difference between non-organic and organic foods. CommonGround volunteers are also highlighted on the website, introducing the non-farming public to the individuals who make up our ag sector.
Visit the new website at CommonGroundMinnesota.com, and follow CommonGround on Instagram (@commongroundminn) and Facebook (@CommonGroundMinnesota).
The Minnesota Corn Growers Association supports CommonGround Minnesota as part of its mission to share information about agriculture with the non-farming public. With fewer Minnesotans having a connection to the farm, programs like CommonGround are vital in promoting conversations about agriculture today.
