Ever since Cindy and I have been in agricultural communications we’ve known and enjoyed working with Larry Quinn, USDA Office of Communications. Well, Larry just retired and while I was in Las Vegas attending BlogWorld and New Media Expo, Cindy got to talk to Larry.

Larry says that when he first arrived at USDA he started working on a manual typewriter but he did move up to an electric one. One thing is for sure, he has seen the communications technology go through major changes. Haven’t we all? How about starting a retirement blog Larry? Listen to him reminisce about his time at the USDA in this week’s program.

The photo of Larry with NAFB president Pam Jahnke was taken at this year’s Washington Watch. He also talks about the wonderful friendships he has developed over the years with farm broadcasters and the great respect he has for those who work to get information out about agriculture.

I’d also like to thank AgWired Sponsor, Fluidigm, for their support of the ZimmCast.
