One of the coolest things about IFAJ is that the members are a mix of publication editors and broadcasters like Adrienne Francis here who works with ABC Rural in Australia. This only makes sense in today’s new media world folks.

Of course in the United States we’re kind of behind the times since we still have separate organizations for editors (AAEA & LPC) and broadcasters (NAFB). Maybe IFAJ will grow and show these organizations the way to work together. It’s already happening with the growth of the Agricultural Media Summit. We just need to get NAFB on board and that will be a truly full bodied conference.

Adrienne is interviewing Max Ivan Lindkjolen, Max Trading, who was cooking up some awesome elk sausage for us here.
