I guess there’s an opportunity for a farm broadcaster at WTAD in Quincy, IL. Pam Fretwell, Past President of the NAFB is going to work for the Conklin Company as the corporate spokesperson for its agriculture division. She’s pictured here at last year’s NAFB convention.
Ms. Fretwell will lead public relations and media development training. Given her love for farm broadcasting she plans to continue to do some weekly on-air programming and maintain her NAFB connections.
Ms. Fretwell joins Conklin’s Kansas City corporate staff from her nine-year position as the Farm Services Director for STARadio Corporation. Often recognized in her broadcasting career, Pam’s distinctions include the award for Missouri Corn Growers Farm Broadcaster of the Year Award and the Outstanding Service to Agriculture Award from the Missouri Farm Bureau.
According to Charles W. Herbster, CEO and owner of the Conklin Company, “Pam’s impressive reputation in farm broadcasting and experience in public relations make her the ideal person to help Conklin reach thousands of independent American farmers who can increase their profitability with our crop and livestock management systems.”
