When I managed the Brownfield Network Mike Cady was one of our engineers. He was one of the people we would call as soon as something didn’t work right and he never lost his cool. Maybe that’s why he’s moving into the affiliate relations field. I don’t know. Maybe he’s just a little bit crazy too. If you don’t know what affiliate relations is in the farm radio network business then listen up. It involves traveling on the road a few days a week and visiting the owners and managers of radio stations and convincing them to devote a portion of their broadcast time to farm programming, specifically your farm programming. Doing it right means you know more about their family than you do your own sometimes. I’m not kidding when I say this is a challenge. I’m sure he’s up to it though.

Brownfield, Ag News for America, is pleased to announce Mike Cady is joining the Brownfield team as the Brownfield Affiliate Relations Manager. “Mike’s extensive background in local radio and his high level of professionalism make him a true asset to the Brownfield team,” said Cyndi Young, Brownfield Farm Director. “For the past nine years, in addition to other engineering responsibilities, Mike worked closely with Brownfield affiliates, offering technical support as needed. He brings a valuable skill set to the position of Affiliate Relations Manager for Brownfield.”
