In May, the eXtension Foundation launched a monthly story lead contest in partnership with Farm Journal in the Farm Journal Monthly Story Lead Contest subgroup here in Connect Extension. Monthly winners, along with their Extension Directors and Administrators, have the chance to work with Farm Journal to further develop their story and have it published in Farm Journal media. The topic area for the August 2020 contest was about about an innovative research project, on-farm trial or farmer engagement program Extension is leading to help farmers measure, analyze and improve their soil health.
@Becky Koch, Agriculture Communication Director, North Dakota State University submitted the winning story lead - Helping Bring Productivity Back to Saline-Sodic Soils.
Congrats to Becky and North Dakota State University! We look forward to seeing the story published in Farm Journal.
September 2020 Contest
The September 2020 Story Lead Contest has been posted and is due on Friday, September 25th. For September 2020, Farm Journal’s Trust In Food seeks your stories about helping bring people in your local communities closer to farmers and U.S. agriculture. Amid COVID-19, many companies are reporting they will redouble efforts related to mitigating climate change, lowering environmental impact & helping consumers make sustainability-conscious purchasing decisions. What are you doing to help local consumers & farmers connect and better understand the environmental and health/nutrition-related impact of food produced by U.S. farmers? Learn More here.
