Farmers use social media to share stories on Earth Day

By , Farms.com

The FarmOn Foundation based in Alberta, Canada - which is dedicated to supporting young farmers, is encouraging producers to use Earth Day as a platform to share their stories on social media.

The hashtag #FarmVoices has become popular on Twitter today, as farmers from around the world share their stories and images on Earth Day. The social media campaign is part of a wider initiative or movement to ‘bringing farming back’ initiated by the FarmOn Foundation.

The group is encouraging farmers, especially young farmers and ranchers to share their voice. An organized social media campaign through the Twitter handle @farmon has been tweeting out to different countries prompting them to share their positive stories about caring for the land and their animals with the Twitterverse.

More information about the FarmOn Foundation can be found at: http://farmon.com. To follow or join in on the discussion use the hashtag #FarmVoices. The following are a few examples of some Tweets from the social media campaign:

Demco's dual auger grain cart is designed for unloading efficiency, operator visibility, and safety in the field.

This dual-auger design features both an unload auger and a floor auger for enhanced grain cleanout and consistent flow, and the 22-inch unload auger is capable of moving up to 600 bushels per minute.

Farmers can also choose between right or left-handed unload options—right-handed unload improves visibility from the tractor cab. A new design allows both vertical and horizontal movement for precise grain placement during unloading.

Another key feature is the built-in fire safety system; a 300-gallon onboard water tank with a hose reel that provides field-ready fire suppression capability.

These dual auger grain carts are available in 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, and 2200 bushel sizes.
