Here Goes!

Here goes - my first attempt at blogging.  Feels sort of like a dear diary, facebook post and email mixed in one. 

Welcome to those that attended the Digital Farming workshops this past winter at various sites in Maryland.  We hope this can be a place to share tools and ideas as all of us learn more about digital resources and social media.  I hope to post regularly and hope that you will too.  Those with a blog, facebook page or website please feel free to post on here so we can continue to connect and learn. 

Here are blogs from the farmer speakers during the Digial Farming sessions:

Also if you have a facebook profile like the University of Maryland Extension Page!

A big topic this year has been the drought both locally and nationwide.  Below is a picture from a corn field in Talbot County.  The ear on the left is what an average corn ear should look like.  The ones on the right are from this year.  Talbot County has been hit hard by prolonged hot weather and little rain.  Any one else have a crop picture to share?
