Good morning from Lexington, KY and the IFAJ board meeting here at the Radisson hotel right across the street from the Convention Center. Our hosts, Alltech, will be holding the sessions for their 2007 International Feed Industry Symposium there starting tomorrow.

This morning I’m doing a presentation for the IFAJ board on blogging and podcasting. It’s going to be a quick overview in which we’ll discuss the basics and look at some live examples and then discuss how they can use these tools in their own media companies. I’ve pre-written this post to use as an example of a live post during my presentation. So I’ll be adding the picture and including it as we’re “live.”

I hope my U. S. agricultural media buddies are taking notice that their counterparts around the world are taking a serious look at how to incorporate new media into their own professional development program and for their own mechanisms to communicate their message. Of course if you’re attending the Agricultural Media Summit this summer you’ll have a chance to learn more at one of the sessions I’ll be conducting there!
