This is not Congressman Collin Peterson. It’s Mike Hergert, Red River Farm Network.

Mike moderated a call-in press conference with the Chairman of the House Ag Committee.

I’m not going to summarize his comments and answers to questions posed from here at the NAFB convention but let’s just say that you can hear a lot about the farm bill (which we don’t have yet).

If you’re a farm broadcaster out there that’s not attending please feel free to download the audio here and use it.

As you can see here there were a lot of farm broadcasters and podcasters plugged in to the press conference.

This picture makes me think of a discussion I just had earlier in the news room. Why don’t we have some equipment manufacturers make an appearance here at an NAFB convention? There may not be a lot of members but we do buy some gadgets.
