I am a mom & I am just as concerned with my kids welfare as any other mom. They love to eat lentils straight out of the combine hopper & this doesn't bother me. Why? Because science has proven that I grow safe, healthy & nutritional food! #nutrition #momlife #food #AgChat

I really enjoyed this past week in Louisville aside from; Having a man my age tell me that since I was a women he wouldn't be listening to anything I had to say, or having my ass slapped by an older man because he didn't believe I am a farmer. We can do better folks.

Dear @LauraPrepon this is what corn looks like when it has had time to pollinate & grow. Regardless of wether or not corn is a gmo or grown with conventional farm methods it's all safe. I am all for choice in the food we buy but how about we stop #foodshaming shall we.

Why are so many in agriculture still pushing the ‘Farm Wife’ narrative? Show me another industry where the wife is labelled and defined be her husbands roll? Let’s recognize women as individuals not extensions of their husbands.

Wendy I know fear sells but let's set the bar higher shall we. Health Canada recently re-reviewed glyphosate using its own data, no science from Monsanto and just like we expected found it safe. An emotional jury decision does not count as science nor prove a link to cancer.

11,000 sue Monsanto, suspecting its weed-killer Roundup caused their or a loved one’s cancer. Turns out Health Canada used science Monsanto paid for as part of its ruling that glyphosate — the chemical in Roundup — is safe. The @WHO calls it a probable carcinogen #MonsantoPapers
