Discover Your Social Web: An Ohio Farm Bureau Guide to Social Media

While many organizations will tell you to follow them on Facebook and Twitter, not many of them tell you HOW to use these sites. Ohio Farm Bureau understands that for its members to fully utilize this new mode of communication, we must provide more than just links to our social media accounts. For this reason, OFBF has created an easy-to-follow guide to social media, including detailed, one-page tutorials on Facebook and Twitter topics to get you more comfortable using these new modes of communication.
