Good old (not old really) Stewart Doan got a big award at last week’s NAFB convention. He was named the Farm Broadcaster of the Year. Looking at his schedule of duties I hope he has an open account at Starbucks.

Stewart Doan of the Yancey Ag Network, Clear Channel Communications, Little Rock, AR., was given the “2006 Farm Broadcaster of the Year” award during a special luncheon on Friday, November 17. Doan is responsibility for the farm news programming at Yancey and he handles the majority of cotton issues for other Clear Channel Ag properties in Oklahoma, New Mexico and Texas. He also produces and anchors a daily Ag Policy Prospective program that airs in multiple states. In addition, he anchors two farm news broadcasts daily on the Kentucky Ag Network. Doan specializes in ag policy and trade issues and is a contributing reporter for Clear Channel farm properties in Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma and Texas.
