Since we are in a busy agriblogging month, you get a double dose of the ZimmCast this week, with a second podcast about an important recent announcement in the agribusiness world.

Last week during the Ag Media Summit, we got the news that American Farm Bureau Federation had acquired Cygnus Business Media’s agricultural events and publications, including five IDEAg branded farm shows and two publications.

The announcement came as a surprise to some, so we talked with AFBF Executive Vice President Julie Anna Potts about why they made this move and how they believe it will serve the Farm Bureau membership.
