Join us for the second virtual session, a hands-on demo and practical discussion on using artificial intelligence (AI) tools to build content calendars, write marketing copy, and create images. Learn how AI can save you time, spark ideas, and strengthen your farm’s marketing efforts. No tech experience needed — just curiosity!

This session will prepare attendees for the in-person Pearls of Production Conference on November 8. 

Introducing “Chick-Chat” (starting at 6:40pm) a 20-minute session as you log on to network and talk to other producers. If virtual sessions aren’t your cup of tea, we are also providing “Barn locations” to attend the session from one of seven extension offices.   

This is the second of five Pixels of Production Sessions, leading up to Pearls of Production in November. Virtual sessions will provide additional foundation for the hands-on training available at Pearls of Production.
