The National Association of Farm Broadcasting is holding its annual Washington Watch program at the end of April and for the first time in a few years I’ll be attending. On this week’s program we’ll learn about it from program chair Lindsay Hill, BARN.

I know I’m a little late this week but maybe I can get back on my Monday schedule next week.

Washington Watch is all about farm broadcasters getting together in DC to meet with the Secretary of Ag as well as a lot of Under Secretarys and others at USDA. Lindsay says NAFB will be doing something new this year by busing everyone out to the Ag Research Center in Beltsville, MD.

Also on the agenda is an Issues Forum where various ag groups provide representatives to talk about the big issues of the day facing agriculture. I think you’ll enjoy our conversation.

This week’s program ends with music from the Podsafe Music Network. It’s called “Barnside Shed” by Justin Gordon. I hope you enjoy it and thank you for listening.
