08: Advocating for Agriculture on Social Media
On Episode 8 of Raising the Barn, I’m really excited to be joined by the 2022 North Carolina Miss Agriculture Advocacy Ambassador, Miss Katie Haynes.
Katie is using her platform to advocate for the agriculture industry across North Carolina through her TikTok and Instagram accounts. And when she’s not promoting North Carolina Agriculture, she’s spending her time leading her non-profit Smiling While Sending Hope, working on her new photography business, and showing rabbits.
Some of the questions we chat about:
What is the Miss Agriculture pageant and what made her want to participate?
What are some of the roles and responsibilities that come with her newly crowned titles, 2022 North Carolina Miss Agriculture Advocacy Ambassador and North Carolina People’s Choice Miss United States Agriculture?
As a member of Gen-Z, she’s turned to TikTok to help share her story and elevate her platform as NC Miss Agriculture Advocacy Ambassador. Many farmers are looking to get started on TikTok. What advice does she have for those farmers on what young audiences might be interested in?
Where does she get her ideas from on what to post on TikTok?
Katie also runs the non-profit, Smiling While Sending Hope. How is she using social media to help tell the story of her non-profit?
As a member of 4-H, what are some of her favorite things about the 4-H program and how does it help prepare the next generation of farmers and Ag folks?
