It looks like Orion Samuelson and Max Armstrong are making a big career change! Wonder what they’re going to do?

John Phipps to Head New U.S. Farm Report On-Air Team
Philadelphia, PA – July 27, 2005 – Farm Journal Media today announces further details regarding talent and the editorial format for U.S. Farm Report…Town and Country Living. Headlining the announcement is the naming of John Phipps as the program’s new host and managing editor, along with Al Pell as agribusiness director, Dyanna DeCola as national news anchor and Mike Hoffman as meteorologist.

With these changes, long-time farm broadcasters Max Armstrong and Orion Samuelson will no longer continue as hosts of the program. “After much discussion with both Max and Orion, it became clear that this represented significant change for both of them and they decided to move their careers in other directions – a decision we didn’t welcome, but one that we totally respect. They have faithfully served agriculture and this program for many years. We will continue that legacy, and hope to work with Max and Orion down the line,” stated Andy Weber, CEO of Farm Journal Media.
