2012 IFAJ Congress Underway

Chuck Zimmerman August 16, 2012

The 2012 International Federation of Agricultural Journalists Congress is officially underway. Here’s our happy group during the opening reception.

The program kicks off with a variety of speakers addressing the theme of “Solutions for a Green Future.” Then we’ll have the annual IFAJ business meeting followed by a visit to Hamra Farm, headquarters for De Laval.

ZimmCast 745 – ZimmComm News & NAMA/NAFB Interviews

In this episode I’m going to share a couple of interviews. One is with Gardner Hatch, Executive Director, NAFB and Debbie Boyle, Vice President, Kynetic. They talk about a new NAFB listener survey. Then I have an interview with Melanie Rice, Brownfield Ag News, about becoming the new President of NAMA.

I also talk about a ZimmComm announcement Cindy and I published last week. Basically, we are retiring from business travel starting at the end of 2025. Besides our 21 years with ZimmComm we traveled a lot for many years before we started ZimmComm. We plan to continue our AgNewsWire news release service as well as AgWired.com, Energy.AgWired.com and our podcasting and other audio production services.
