Agriculture Telling its Story

• #FoodThanks - The AgChat Foundation is looking to expand awareness on how food is part of the holiday social center piece by saying "#FoodThanks" to those who help bring us food. "Sometimes the simplest expression of gratitude are the most profound. This Thanksgiving season, we encourage you to use social media to show just how thankful you are for the food we enjoy every day. In doing so, we will also be thanking those many people and industries who bring food to our tables."
