ZimmCast90 - Blogging in the Buckeye State with Andy VanceThe Buckeye Ag Radio Network (The BARN) is about to turn 1 year old so I interviewed one of the “Hired Hands,” Andy Vance to find out how it’s going. He and his wife and partner, Lindsay, have created a very nice farm media company that blends the old with the new. In other words, he’s a farm broadcaster who can still be heard on the air and online using new media tools like blogging and podcasting.

Andy has also been a guest writer on our World Dairy Diary website which has been a big help to me as we continue to develop that outlet to communicate with dairy producers. On the BARN you can find Andy’s Angle and Lindsay’s Lessons and here’s where you’ll find the BARN Podcast.

I like one of Andy’s comments about how we’ll soon think in terms of reaching a farm audience through a combined group of media (broadcast/publication/blog/podcast) rather than just one or another. I know it’s hard to grasp at first but research is beginning to show the impact some of these new media tools are having in reaching the farmer. People like Andy and Lindsay are leading the way!
