I’m in Africa (Kenya) for the first time and at my first International Federation of Agriculture Journalists @IFAJ conference.
Thx to @CdnFarmWriters and @Bayer4CropsCA for the support.
Here I am with a few Canadian reps. Agenda includes farm tours…so better photos to come!

I work primarily in print, but not entirely. I’m not crazy.
Reading this article from @thewalrus thewalrus.ca/whitehorse-dail… made me think about reaching farmers.

60%Less than 1 bu
32%1 to 2 bu
2%2 to 5 bu
5%Don't care
