There were 145 media representatives covering Commodity Classic. Here’s some of them at the Sec. of Ag Schafer press conference. We all have significant needs for things like internet access, phone lines, work spaces, convenient food/beverages, privacy, a meeting place, secure room for equipment and help finding our way around. That’s why it is so important and appreciated to have companies like New Holland sponsor a media/press conference room at events like Commodity Classic.

To give you a perspective on how important this is I spoke to Pam Fretwell, WTAD and Past President of NAFB. She says that there just wouldn’t be the amount of stories going out if we didn’t have resources like the ones made possible by sponsors like New Holland.

I also spoke to Mike Wilson, Farm Futures and Senior Vice President of IFAJ. He says the sponsorship of the media room is very important since these events are getting so big and the resources offered really help us do our jobs. He also says that for the sponsoring company it really helps build strong relationships.
