Welcome to  Consumer Ag Connection

Thanks for visiting ConsumerAg.org, the online home to the Consumer Ag Connection radio program hosted by veteran farm broadcaster Pam Fretwell of Farm Journal Media. Consumer Ag Connection seeks to bridge the gap between consumers and the farm with expert-backed information, meaningful discussion and science-based facts.

If your work environment doesn’t allow you to listen to Pam when she is “on air,” you’ll be able to download Consumer Ag Connection’s daily show from  http://www.agweb.com/multimedia/consumer_ag_connection.aspx to find out more about agriculture, consumer attitudes, and issues impacting food, renewable fuel and fiber production.

Interested in having your favorite station feature Pam’s show? Contact Pam at 815-325-4193 or email her at pfretwell@farmjournal.com

Don’t forget–the Consumer Ag Connection site and radio show are for you.  If you have a good story you want to tell, or have an interesting article or website you would like to share, send the link and/or contact information to Pam at pfretwell@farmjournal.com and she will follow up.

A Message from Pam

Most decisions affect agriculture–from the food you eat, to the fuel you use in your car, to the clothing you wear. And today, more than ever, consumers are having an influence on the future of agriculture production.

My purpose with Consumer Ag Connection is to educate the consumer about food and fiber production, and to restore faith in today’s farmers and agribusinesses.  I want to portray American farmers as I know them:  as intelligent, moral, environmentally conscious and willing to feed, fuel and cloth the world’s people within an ever-changing global environment.

If you would like to join me in this venture by becoming an underwriter or sponsor of Consumer Ag Connection, or if you want Consumer Ag Connection to air on your local radio station, please call me at 815-325-4193 or email me at pfretwell@farmjournal.com.
