How do you answer the tough questions and explain GMO's to consumers and non-agriculture people? Kim Bremmer, owner of Ag Inspirations LLC, will be sharing techniques and GMO talking points for farmers. Kim grew up as a farm girl and is a wife, mother of two, graduate of UW-Madison and was a dairy nutritionist for nearly 15 years. She is a vocal champion of agriculture everywhere she goes, from the grocery store to the airport. Her true passion is sharing the REAL story of agriculture with everyday consumers. This workshop offers you an excellent opportunity to discuss answering the tough questions:- What is a GMO?
- How do GMO's affect my food?
- How long have GMO's been around and what is the history?
- Are GMO's safe?
- What is all the buzz about GMO labeling?
