Here’s one of my next stops on the agricultural marketing highway. The Farm Equipment Manufacturers Association will be holding their convention in Minneapolis next week. I’ll be part of a panel titled, “Marketing Communications Strategies & Tactics.” It’s going to be on Tuesday afternoon and features some real experts like, Dale Bentlage of Global Reach Internet Productions, Joe Baitinger of Farm Market ID and Connor Flynn of Lessing Flynn.

I’ll be showing attendees what blogs and podcasts are and planting the seeds of ideas for using them in their corporate communications plans. I guess you know that you’ll be seeing posts from there.

After that it’s time for my annual hunting trip. That’s going to be from November 10-14 so posting will be light on those days. I’m just giving you a heads up.

After that, it’s on to the NAMA Agribusiness Forum in Kansas City, followed by the NAFB Convention. This year the two groups are having an overlapping session on Wednesday afternoon.
