Tweet Your Crop Questions to ABCropChat

 
Do you have questions about the upcoming growing season? Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AF) is hosting ABCropChat on Twitter, Tuesday, April 24, 2018 at 2 p.m. For the hour, producers can tweet their questions to the @AlbertaAg Twitter account. AF crop specialists from across the province will provide the answers in real-time. Producers can also follow the conversation by using #ABCropChat.
 
“ABCropChat is another means to reach our audience and provide a more interactive conversation. It is a way for producers to ask their questions in real-time and get answers on the spot,” say Krista Zuzak, plant pathologist with AF. “Especially during the growing season, this can be important. ABCropChat is also a chance for many people to get answers to the same question.”
 
Organizers will use the April 24 event to gage how often these Q & A’s will happen and what topics could be covered. “There might be something more seasonal to coincide with crops out there or a certain issue for a certain ABCropChat. It could focus on agronomy or anything people want to know more about,” adds Zuzak.

We start the conversation so you can avoid common pitfalls, navigate sensitive family dynamics, and take the first steps toward a smoother transition for your operation.
