One of the people I’ve come to know through IFAJ is Damien O’Reilly. He’s a farm broadcaster from Ireland. You can find him online at RTE Radio 1 with his show Farm Week.

Here he is at the recent IFAJ Congress in Norway interviewing dairy farmer Thors Jacobson. He’s got some other pictures online from the Congress.

I encourage all U. S. agricultural journalists to get involved with IFAJ. If you’re a member of AAEA then you already are automatically but even if you’re a member of LPC or NAFB or whatever, I’m sure they would welcome your involvement. It’s a great way to expand your horizons and learn from our counterparts around the world.
