I’ve got a couple of Brownfield Network announcements. Lane just keeps cranking them out.

The last twelve months have been filled with much growth and change in agriculture. In recognition of the challenges and accomplishments of American farmers throughout the past year, Brownfield will offer a special hour-long program, “Agriculture In 2005″, a review of the top agricultural news stories and events. Hosted by Brownfield’s Tom Steever, the program will be available to network affiliates and as a podcast beginning December 30 on the network’s website. The program can be heard by visiting the site, www.brownfieldagnews.com, under the “In the Spotlight” section, starting on Thursday, December 29.

It says the program will be a podcast. (Only if I can subscribe to it). It’s nice to see the farm podcast field continuing to grow.

Brownfield’s Gary Truitt will be one of 30 Indiana agricultural and agribusiness leaders to travel to Central America with Lt. Governor Becky Skillman and Congressman Dan Burton. The purpose of the six-day trade mission to Guatemala, Costa Rica and Panama is to create new business opportunities for Indiana’s food and agricultural industry.

Truitt will be reporting news from his travels and making posts to the Brownfield Blog while on his trip to Central America. The group will travel to the Central American region January 8-13, spending one or two days in each country.

Wow Gary. Send me some photos too and I’ll post ’em. How about a cool one for a Zimmage?
