Social Media

Social media is a valuable communication channel for farmers to share their stories.

Stories about dairy farming can go a long way to helping increase awareness of the good things dairy farmers are doing, not only on their own farms and other farms, but also in their communities.

Mainstream and social media provide ideal platforms to share good news stories and celebrate success.

DairyNZ has guidebooks designed for farmers who want to tell their stories:

• Social Media 101: Designed for farmers getting started on social media. It gives an overview of the social media channels Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Social media is also a great way to connect, influence, learn and educate.
• Picture This: This guide recognises farmers are right on the spot to capture photos and short videos that provide real-time insights into their care and respect for the environment they work and live in, and for their people and animals.
