There are others who blog about agriculture who may not be involved in the day-to-day farm activities that are represented on my farmers rock blog list. This is a place for me to list some of my favorite non-farmer blogs!
- Adventures in Agriculture – this one is by tweep JohnDeereTara and she talks about the behind the scenes world of green equipment.
- Ag Recruiting — My friend Jason who works in the human resources side of ag…. great guy! This blog gives you a different side of ag, great if you are hiring people or looking to get hired.
- All Things Agriculture — Nate does a great jobs of providing his perspective on any of a number of topics farm related. He’s got a precision technology background so that is a thread you see more than once or twice.
- Biofortified – This blog is a combination of voices about “stronger plants, stronger science and stronger communications.” To get that, several graduate students and professors blog information about facts and encourage discussion about agriculture with particular focus on plant genetics and biotechnology.
- Biotechnology blog by Terry Etherton — Terry Etherton is a Distinguished Professor of Animal Nutrition and Head of the Department of Dairy and Animal Science at Penn State University. He is also a renowned expert in biotechnology.
- CropHugger — Marc Pacchioli has been in Agricultural Research and Production for more than 20 years. He works with a wide range of crops; agronomic, fruit & vegetable, turf & ornamental; from small organic market gardens to large corporate “conventional” farms. And recently decided to add a blog to his tasklist. He says “I also love to eat delicious food, drink good wine, and, did I mention chocolate? Extra dark, please.”
- Fill Your Plate — the Arizona Farm Bureau blog that helps connect farmers in the state with consumers in terms of what’s in season, where to locate and how to cook things.
- From Sand Creek: One Writer’s Blog — Lynn Woolf lives on a farm and as a PR person has a great knack for for putting together posts that cross those two areas.

- Get the Facts from Farmer Gene — Farmer Gene is with BIO and provides a look at biotechnology in farming.
- James and the Giant Corn — James is a genetics student looking at the wonderful world of agriculture.
- Meatblogger – Chris Raines is a professor at Penn State and yes, he’s a meat expert. No, not like the folks who just eat it – he knows way more than I thought was possible!
- Pork Power Blog — This is a blog done by a group of pork farmers… recipes and marathon training are among the themes.
- Shedding Light on Agriculture — I met Daniel online and finally met up in real life. He’s working with fruit trees in the Valley. You can learn a lot from him as he shares thoughts that come to him while he works on his PhD.
