Fastline Spotlight: Gilmer Really Gets It

(the following article is published by and appears in its entirety on Fastline's Blog)

Will Gilmer, a third generation dairyman on his family’s dairy farm in northwest Alabama, is doing more than just milking cows these days. With his farm website, blog, and innovative ways to share his message, Gilmer is making a name for himself in the agriculture social media scene as someone who really “gets it.”

Gilmer has always had an interest in the Internet and computers, but in college he realized that wasn’t something he’d ever do as a career, but would always keep as a hobby. After graduating from Mississippi State University with a degree in Agricultural Engineering Technology and Business, Gilmer returned home to live and work on his family dairy farm.

 It didn’t take him long to establish a website for Gilmer Dairy Farm, as a way for people to get a look at what life on the farm was really like and keep up with the daily happenings. “I began to realize that if people weren’t raised on a farm, they really had no clue what went on,” Gilmer said.
