Cindy took this picture of Hugh Whaley, (l) Broadhead+Co and Barry Nelson, John Deere, during the Commodity Classic trade show. That gives you an updated look at Hugh since I used an old one in the story about his moving to Broadhead+Co.
As things slowed down today I got to sit down and visit with Hugh about his new position. It made for a good Commodity Classic week ZimmCast. Hugh is a very good friend and I’m glad for this opportunity he has. He’s be working on obtaining, managing and working with farmer driven organizations, not for profit groups, agricultural associations as well as governmental organizations. This fits right in with the kind of work that he’s been doing which includes working with the United Soybean Board and other checkoff groups.
Hugh says he’s going to continue his involvement in organizations like NAMA, NAFB and others so we’ll be seeing him around still. One of his first duties will be working on an existing Broadhead+Co account, the California Almond Board.
