As you know, I’m a pretty big fan of Temple Grandin; evidenced here, here and here.
About 3 weeks ago, Temple visited Ohio for the Northwest Ohio Autism Summit in Bowling Green. The night before, she visited a farm in Cygnet, Ohio to talk to producers and consumers — while there she held an animal handling demonstration and spoke about transparency in agriculture.
The event was sponsored by the Wood County Beef Producers, Farm Bureau, Great Lakes Family Farms, Ohio Cattlemen’s Association, Ohio State University Extension and Bowling Green State University.
It’s great to see producers reaching out to the community and opening up their farms for tours. Have you ever been on a farm tour or if you’re a producer, have you ever held a farm tour? I hope that when hubsy and I finally have our own place, we will be able to open our doors to the community.
Until next time,

Fun factoid: the first interviewed speaker, Dan Frobose, is my father-in-law. He is one of many Wood Co. Beef Producers. Additionally, one of my sisters-in-law, Hannah, is seen stuffing her face with a bbq sandwich!
