Holidays provide forum and opportunity to chime in — with discretion

December 16, 2016

The holidays are upon us! A time of gift giving, merry making, and festivities. With all of the action, we tend to find ourselves in some unique and not-so-normal social situations and places surrounded by people we don’t always socialize with, family and friends included. While that provides a great opportunity for those involved in agriculture to talk about it (you should probably use my tips and tricks), it also presents a platform for those not so friendly to modern farm production to spout off.

Knowing when to say something, cause a stink, or walk away can be hard.

Don’t worry — I’m here to make the holidays a little less stressful! I’ve created a (slightly snarky and) handy guide to where you are likely to encounter these awkward situations, what you could say if you so choose, and some advice on the best way to actually approach the situation.

Finish reading here.
