By Kelly. (The VD class)
Stefanie Fowler came to visit us today! The 9 Visual Design and Agriculture class crowded into the art room to listen raptly to our enthusiastic and young farmer lady, Steph (so many of us assume farmers as blokes and old(men)!).
We gained heaps of insight into her role as an innovative ‘laser bearing’ meat scientist…A key thing she showed us was how many varied by-products from various parts of cattle are actually used (minus the cow’s ‘moo’ that hasn’t been captured yet to create a product from …well, as yet!)
We told Steph about our plans for Archibull and showed her our sketches. She commented on it and advised us to talk to other farmers.
She told us how she loved using Twitter (and made tweet buddies with our keen student and twitter enthusiast, Kristen). She also described how lots of farmers find it great as Tweets convey messages effectively because they are so short and to the point. She described AgChatOz as an example of a similar site that is for Australian farmers to communicate and discuss ideas, thoughts and issues.
Steph gave us lots of ideas to include in our Archibull Project!
