Well that brings us to a close of #agchatoz tonight, thanks for joining us to talk about #agday! Catch us tomorrow on @abcwesternvic (Wed 8:45am) for a recap #agchatoz

Q4 #agchatoz @OzFarmers #agDay integrate of many concepts however working with @OzPIEF the national body for food & fibre education to raise and celebrate curriculum pathways to bring food and fibre into classrooms would capture metro, urban, rural teachers, students & parents

Q5. I personally didn’t even know it’s was #AgDay until I seen a post on Facebook. I’ve only seen friends in the industry post about it today, I really haven’t seen anything from anyone outside of the industry. As @4DVirtualFarm said, need to start somewhere! #agchatoz

#Agday dinner. Ready for the crew to come in at 9:30pm. #harvest17 = crazy mealtimes! #agchatoz pic.twitter.com/rphUrIoShT

So far doesnt seem to have been a lot of cut through into Metro media from what i have seen in Melbourne today (apart from my twitter feed) but you have to start somewhere #agchatoz

Q4 #agchatoz Comandeer the big screen at Fed Square in Melbourne for some weekdays for #AgDay with #VirtualReality farm tours on site and provide access to website for after

Q4 #Agday is also a great day for farmers to have the conversation & remind us to share our stories. Telling the Ag story at Rural Regional Visitor Info Centres & through their social media is a great way to educate too works well @haytourism #agchatoz This bus gp from c.coast pic.twitter.com/ZLmOajfSdP

Q5 Are we “preaching to the choir” about Agriculture in Australia on days like this? Does anyone outside Ag really take notice? Can you increase the reach of Ag just by talking to others #agchatoz

Up to our final Q of the night #agchatoz

Q4. Advertisements, especially in areas where agriculture isn’t well known, or a particular industry isn’t well known. #AgEdu really needs to be improved. Would producers be willing to have people not familiar with their industry on their farm? #agchatoz

#agchatoz Updated facts about food, fibre & forestry R gr8, But, ensuing they are integrated into ed resources, & relevant to learning areas within curriculum will bring discovery of ag into the classroom Such is the work of @OzPIEF #AgEdu

Some interesting answers coming back about #agday - keep them coming #agchatoz

Q3. TV/radio ads by far! It’s the quickest and most effective way to get our message across. Commodity days sound interesting too. Possibly a different ad for different commodities circulating? #agchatoz

Q2. Its important for everyone to see that farming isn’t just cereal crops, sheep and cattle. There’s farmers in industries such as horticulture, viticulture, citrus, aquaculture etc that don’t commonly get recognised as an ‘Aussie farmers’, by people not involved in ag #agchatoz
