As is often the case, yours truly is one of the first into the media room. One of my sponsors for AgWired coverage here is New Holland.

They also sponsor the media room each year as you may have heard in my interview with Gene Hemphill yesterday in this week’s ZimmCast. I’m looking forward to his reception for the media tomorrow evening too.

Once you arrive at the media room the first persons to greet you are these smiling faces. I interviewed Bob Callanan, ASA (right) and Mimi Ricketts, NCGA (second from right) about how they work together to prepare for Commodity Classic and the media. I think they’ve now got almost 100 registered media for the event which is an increase from normal. Hot topics for the media will probably be the farm bill and renewable fuels according to these two communications directors.

The interview is also part of the CommodityClassicCast podcast series started just for this year’s Commodity Classic.
