This week it’s time to talk about the phone, mobile phones to be precise. What better way to deliver information to farmers? Lots, you think? Think again. At least I think you will after you listen to this week’s ZimmCast.

In this week’s program you’ll hear from the recent NAMA convention keynote futurist to prep you for my interview with someone I think you’ll be hearing more from in the, uh, future.

Joel Jaeger, is the founder of Commodity Update. This is a new service that delivers markets and other information directly to a farmer’s mobile phone. As you’ll hear him describe, the farmer determines what markets and when he/she wants to get them. They can be delivered automatically or on demand.

I’m going to subscribe myself today and report back to you sometime in the future (can’t stop using that word). So let’s get to it. You can listen here: ZimmCast 71 (10 min MP3)
