Wow. Just when you thought we couldn’t possibly have any more new organizations working on the whole food and fuel thing, here comes another one. It’s the American Ag and Energy Council and they’re starting a new national media campaign using radio. I’m glad it’s available on their website too. Now if we could just get all these groups to pool their money and resources . . .
Today, the American Ag and Energy Council (AAEC) launched a national radio campaign featuring a “Food and Fuel Update.” The first installment of the “Food and Fuel Update” featuring commentary from Mark Pearson highlights the enormous cost of our nation’s dependence on foreign oil and the financial benefits of ethanol.
The ads will be running on nationally syndicated shows including Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, in addition to local affiliates throughout the United States.
Wendy Wintersteen, Dean of the Iowa State University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and Co-Chair of AAEC said, “This is the first in a series of efforts to educate the American public on the positive benefits agriculture plays in their daily lives.” Wintersteen continued, “AAEC’s main objective is to promote the common link between all sectors of modern agriculture and energy through a positive and educational medium.”
