Editors' Notebook

OMAHA (DTN) -- Each December the DTN editors compile a list of the top 10 ag stories of the past year for publication during the invariably slow news week between the Christmas and New Year holidays.

What? You mean we're not the only news organization that does this? Imagine that.

This year we're introducing a new wrinkle. We're employing our social media and new media skills to get input from our readers.

That's you.

What were the top ag news stories of 2012? What affected you most during the past year? Of course, there are the big stories on everybody's radar -- the drought, the fiscal cliff. But what else happened this year that made a huge difference in your life, fortunes or pursuit of happiness? If you were picking 10, what would you make sure to include?
