No-Till Farmer is now producing video. Another publication joins the multi-media producer ranks. It’s a great idea but you do have to fill out a registration form to see it. I know why that is but it does put up a barrier for farmers or anyone who wants to see the video. I’d recommend letting them be public guys. You’ll get a lot more eyeballs on the content that way. And if you’re going to be doing a lot of them then consider putting them into a podcast feed or using an online service like YouTube to host them.
The editors of No-Till Farmer announced today that they have launched their first informational video at No-tillfarmer.com. The video features a presentation from this past January’s National No-Tillage Conference with Vincennes, Ind., no-tiller Ray McCormick outlining his steps to success at no-tilling continuous corn.
“We think the information we’ll be able to provide through video will be of great interest to no-tillers,” says Darrell Bruggink, managing editor and publisher of No-Till Farmer. “Our readers like to share information and learn from each other, and this new tool will be an impactful way to do that.”
In addition to providing several more video presentations from the conference in the near future, Bruggink says editors see an opportunity to share information right out of the field, such as no-till equipment setup demonstrations or on-camera interviews with no-tillers talking about techniques they’ve used to improve their no-till management.
“This new video feature will enhance the value of our Web site to both our loyal readers and visitors seeking the latest no-till information,” says Frank Lessiter, editor of No-Till Farmer. “It’s a wonderful complement to our print publication and our annual conference.”
