Twittering from the Tractor

Embedded video from CNN Video

Steve Tucker is a wheat farmer in Nebraska changing the way we interact with the folks who grow our food. Twittering from the tractor: smartphones sprout on the farm is an interesting article at CNN.com about how farmer’s like Steve are using Twitter and other tools to bridge the urban-rural divide and get us thinking more about where our food comes from.

The idea of extending the Twitter network into interesting locations around the world via mobile devices is at the core of our thinking and Steve sums it up well when he says, “I can be in the most remote place and just with the power of having a BlackBerry … I can communicate with anybody at anytime about anything.” You can follow @Tykerman1 on Twitter.
