I am sad to say that I just found out that one of my best farm radio friends, Mike Perrine, has passed. I have enjoyed every conversation and we’ve had some fun times together. Mike was a great listener and had a wonderful sense of humor. He will be seriously missed by so many people who have worked with him.

Back in 2015 he received the NAFB Dix Harper Meritorious Service Award at the NAFB convention in Kansas City. Mike was also received into NAFB Hall of Fame in 2023. You can see a great video that was played there.

Here’s a quote from the NAFB FB page: “Mike’s broadcast roots date back to 1959 and his career journey took him to many broadcast destinations, including WLDS, WJIL/WJVO, WKAN and AgriTalk (to name a few). He made an indelible impression on everyone who knew him. Mike joined NAFB in 1978 and served in numerous volunteer positions.”
