Here’s where AgriTalk host Mike Adams worked when he was growing up (has he actually stopped growing up?). This is good to know because it’s an example of pictures you’ll start finding on the AgriTalk website. It’s a new feature they have called “Barn of the Week.”

AgriTalk’s new program, Barn of the Week, gives listeners the opportunity to tell personal stories about historic barns while celebrating the special nature of rural America. AgriTalk host Mike Adams said the initiative is a great way to help preserve historic barns and create a link to traditional American agriculture for future generations.

“Our goal is to promote the importance of these barns and provide historical background of American agriculture and rural life,” Adams said. “For people without this experience, it’s a history lesson. For others, it’s reminiscent of both present and past farm life.”

AgriTalk listeners can now electronically submit stories with photos of their favorite barn at www.agritalk.com. The entries will then be collected and posted on AgriTalk’s Web site and recognized during live broadcasts starting in July.
