How can ag communications groups be relative to their members? By going to Washington and lobbying for our interests, like every other trade association. I don’t think the NAFB has learned that lesson yet. It cost us 40% of our membership in the early part of this decade.

Chuck:
Not surprising the group is cancelling their convention given the shake down in that industry.
Interesting thoughts on the multiple organizations. As a former member of the NAFB, I always thought there should have been one ag communications organization, but back in the 80′s and 90′s that idea was shot down. Given the expense associated with travel, one large meeting would certainly have more clout.
