Conversation EASE training March 26

The Miami County Farm Bureau cordially invites Farm Bureau members to attend its upcoming Conversation with EASE training program, which will be held on March 26, 2013, beginning at 7 p.m. at The Elizabeth Township Community Center, 5760 E. Walnut Grove Rd., Troy.

We hope you will be able to attend our upcoming training program. So that we may plan appropriately, would you please RSVP to the Farm Bureau office by calling (937) 335-1471or sending an email to miami@ofbf.org.

To help farmers and other key stakeholders have productive conversations that build trust and confidence in food, farming and agriculture, the U. S. Farmers & Ranchers Alliance—which Ohio Farm Bureau belongs to—has developed the Conversation with EASE (Engage, Acknowledge, Share, Earn trust) program.

Conversation with EASE is not a spokesperson or media training program, but rather a movement specifically designed to help turn today’s war of words about food, farming and agriculture into a conversation led by the people who know the subject best—farmers.

Talk is not cheap. Conversation is powerful. It can change opinions, it can enlighten and it can inspire additional conversation. It’s one of the most powerful human interactions.

Important conversations about how our food is produced are taking place, and farmers need to be a part of those conversations. Understanding what consumers want and allowing them to learn more about food production will build trust and confidence in food, farming and agriculture.
