Deciding what to do...
Too many places, not enough time.
There will always be more information and tools than you can use. You must limit, cut out, focus on a few to really reach your goals.

Give info how to get info out there and listen
Develop your listening posts. This will be a continuous activity to identify experts and finding that "bar" that will work for you.
Review your approaches against your goals/objectives. There will be times that you need to drop something to allow you to pick up another.

Survey data
How can you know your audience? You have to ask them.
Surveys help. We at Truffle regularly ask our audience various questions throughout the year.
With respect to new and social media, here are some things we have observed: across beef, dairy, poultry, swine, and crop farmers, 30% spent at least 10% of their week reading watching, or listening to industry information. 50% spent 20% or more of their week reading, watching, or listening to industry information.
Reading was the preferred method of understanding information.

Survey data
In a survey conducted Q2 2011, 87% of Swine producers listed email as their most valuable communications tool today, with newsletters and magazine at 39% and 25%.
When asked what they believed the most valuable communications tool will be in the next several years, email still was at top, but web sites, social media, and smart phones passed newsletters and magazines.

Survey data
In a 2011 ag focused social media survey conducted by Meghan Cline, graduate student at Oklahoma State University, 83% of respondents (farmers and ranchers) sought out people to follow on twitter based mainly on the usefulness of the tweets posted and then on the identity of the tweeter.
65% trusted information from individuals just as much as information from professional organizations.
84% used twitter to mainly find out about news and events.

Media believes digital is important, but not in the near
future (18 months). This means traditional channels are going to continue to be sold.
Is this is a different direct of the general media market?
