Tricia and John BlockHere’s Tricia Braid-Terry and former Secretary of Agriculture John Block at last week’s NAFB Convention. We didn’t know it at the time but we were in the presence of greatness.

Tricia Braid-Terry of Funks Grove was recently honored by the Illinois Soybean Association (ISA) as the winner of its 2007 Excellence in Broadcasting Award. The award was presented at ISA’s Awards Program at the 2007 Illinois Commodity Conference in Bloomington on November 20.

As news manager for the Illinois Farm Bureau RFD Radio Network, Braid-Terry provides comprehensive reports on a wide range of soybean topics. She was formerly agribusiness director for WMBD and field editor for Prairie Farmer and Illinois AgriNews.

“Spreading the word about soybeans is critical in our efforts to promote our crop,” said Teutopolis farmer David Hartke, ISA chairman. “Tricia’s coverage of soybean issues has given her listeners a better understanding of the challenges facing our industry.”

Cindy can’t believe I didn’t use the chocotini picture Tricia but it’s still in the photo album.
