Hello from Bonn, Germany and the 2016 International Federation of Agricultural Journalists Congress. I came in early to visit with the Master Class and Young Leaders. You can see photos of them in the photo album below. Tomorrow is the main arrival day for attendees. We’ll have a program during the day and welcome dinner in the evening.
I want to say a big thank you to Bayer for sponsoring my coverage of the Congress this year. They are the Innovation sponsor for the Congress and we’ll be making some tour stops at Bayer facilities later this week.
I’ve mentioned this many times but have to say it again. This conference provides an awesome opportunity for any agricultural journalist regardless of what country or organization you belong to. I’ve already seen friends from Canada, Africa, Germany and Switzerland. We’ll get to learn a lot about German agriculture including farm policy as well as touring farms of various kinds.
I am also taking official photos for IFAJ this week and have to thank them for the opportunity to do so. I’ll be giving my new Nikon D750 a workout this week, carpal tunnel brace and all. LOL. Auf Wiedersehen
