This week I’m attending the National Association of Farm Broadcasting, Washington Watch program. It will kick off this afternoon as will my coverage here on AgWired.

This morning I’m doing some media production training with American Farmland Trust. We’ve been talking about editing audio and video since they’re in a podcasting mode. In this week’s program you’ll hear from one of the people in our session, Gretchen Hoffman, AFT intern. Gretchen explains the work that AFT does and says that she’s an art major and very interested in the production side of web-delivered information. So besides learning how to edit a file and upload it we’re also talking about story development for a video clip as well as an audio file that may accompany text on a web page. She says they’ve got their own YouTube account now and have found the number of views compared to a video clip posted to their own webpage has increased fourfold.

I hope you enjoy it and thank you for listening.
