Ag professionals are facing unforeseen challenges as #plant20 officially kicks into high gear this month. And as agribusinesses respond to the coronavirus crisis with new social distancing policies to protect their employees, customers, and industry partners, and contingency plans for potential supply chain disruption, it’s hardly business as usual. Except that it is. Farmers, and the people and companies that support them, must grow on as they always do.

With that said, what better place is there to find an unfiltered snapshot of this unprecedented time in agriculture than on Twitter. It’s THE place where people speak their minds, for better or for worse. Thus, below you’ll find more than a dozen recent examples of insightful, candid, and even humorous tweets from ag professionals on how they are preparing for both planting and pandemic.
