The National Corn Growers Association is familiar to just about everyone in agriculture but how many of you know how their marketing department works? To find out what they do there in St. Louis I dropped in and spoke with NCGA Vice President of Marketing, Fred Stemme. Fred used to work here in mid Missouri for the Missouri Corn Growers Association before getting his job with the national organization.

This week’s program is a conversation between Fred and myself. I asked Fred when he’s going to start the NCGA blog and he didn’t say “never.” I also asked him if he thought news bloggers could be considered legitimate media. You’ll have to listen to hear his answer. I think you’ll enjoy it.

Fred’s pictured here in the NCGA office in Chesterfield (west St. Louis) in front of their display of products made from corn.
