Gifts For Ag Communications Professionals
It’s a little icy here in mid Missouri this morning. We’ve got about 7 degrees with a -10 wind chill. How ’bout that global warming!
Have you got finished your Christmas gift list yet? Of course, that’s not the real reason for the season but you wouldn’t be able to tell from the news lately. It’s all about the money honey. Who’s got it, who shouldn’t have it, who doesn’t have it and who wishes they had it.
So what do you get that favorite farm communications professional of yours this Christmas? I thought I’d list out a few items you may consider depending on your budget. These would be useful to most anyone in today’s world, including farmers themselves.

I’ll take the Nikon D40!
Another idea for Ag Communications professionals – and farmers – is a laptop mount for the car/truck/cab.

That’s a great idea Christy. Thanks.

Sorry Chuck…but Nikon has stopped making the SB800. It has been replaced by the larger SB900.
And while you’re shopping, I’ll take one of each!
Merry Christmas
Chuck
Then why is it still on their website? http://www.nikonusa.com/Find-Your-Nikon/Flashes/index.page I’d like a new one too!

Those all sound good. I need a digital video recorder and Photoshop. Thanks Santa!

You can probably find the SB800. I have both the 800 and 900…the 900 is easier to set when using as a remote and has a longer range, but it is bigger and heavier. Find an 800 if you can. Even the SB600 is a great flash if on a budget.
And I’d take a look at the D90. It’s getting some rave reviews.
Regarding flash memory cards: sign up for SanDisk’s email alerts. You can find some GREAT deals on closeout cards. Adorama also can have some killer deals on cards.
