Post FPS Stress Syndrome

Chuck Zimmerman

AgWired At Farm Progress ShowI feel a little like I’m suffering from Post Farm Progress Show Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PFPSTSS). Even a cup of homemade Rocket Fuel hasn’t gotten me moving too fast yet. How about you?

While I was packing up yesterday Gene Hemphill, New Holland Media Room Sponsor Extraordinaire, noted that we have a lot of “gadgets.” I prefer the T-word (tools). So between Laura and me, we had multiple still and video cameras (8), audio recorders (3), computers(3), tripods (2), and a variety of other things (power strips, cleaning supplies, cords, fans, etc. We needed those tools to take about 900 still photos, shoot 10 video clips, conduct over 40 audio interviews not counting press conferences and have a live webcam/cast going for most of the show from our media tent table. I think I’ve still got about 9 interviews to edit and post.

If we didn’t get to your exhibit and get an interview done, we are sorry. It was a busy 3 days for a couple of agribloggers. The rain on Wed and internet access issues kind of slowed us down too. I know there were a lot of you public relations professionals out there working hard to get us to stop by but we Leah Guffeycouldn’t get to everyone. Don’t stop trying though. You can see Laura at work at the AgWired table in the top photo.

Leah Guffey, WFMB, is in the background of the top picture but here’s a better one. She’s got a new gig as reported here earlier. You can read more about it at SF-R.com (scroll down the article).
