I sat down with Tom Cassidy after the election to talk about what he thinks of the state of the farm broadcasting industry, new technology and issues to work on in the future. Tom is a former dairy farmer who got into farm broadcasting by meeting the legendary Ed Slusarczyk, who passed away in 2006. Tom married Ed’s daughter Holly and took over the network, which he now owns.
