While I’m on the topic of farm broadcasting I thought some of you might be interested to know that the deadline for the New Holland Oscar in Agriculture award has been extended.

You’ve now got until September 28 to get your entries in.

The New Holland Oscar in Agriculture program recognizes and encourages excellence in broadcast reporting on a wide variety of issues. The purpose of this award is to recognize excellence in reporting skill, thoroughness and attention to audience interest. Entries should describe the approach used to develop the reporting and coverage of that issue. The nomination should also include enough examples of articles or taped programs to illustrate the scope of the work. All work submitted must have been aired on or after August 1, 2006.

You can find the entry form online here.

Entries need to be filled out and sent to:
