I really don’t think Ken Root, WHO, is kneeling at the altar of wheat here but it is a different way to do an interview. He’s one of the many farm broadcasters here at the NAFB Washington Watch who participated in this afternoon’s Issues Forum session.
Various commodity groups attend with representatives who can talk about issues pertinent to their audience and members. The farm broadcasters get a couple of hours to conduct interviews for their programming.
I wandered around and interviewed about a half a dozen various attendees and asked them why they participate in Washington Watch.
Listen to different commodity group representatives provide the answer here:ww-08-issues-forum.mp3
