We’d like to extend an invitation to submit articles, news releases, pictures and other announcements for possible publication on AgriMarkeing Pros, your newest place to learn about what’s going on in the agri-marketing world. In fact, as far as we know it’s the only blog about our business.
Corn Growers Looking For a Good Communicator
I don’t plan on making this a habit but because he’s a great guy and one of ZimmComm’s favorite people I’ll do it. In fact, before I even get started you should know that you can find listings of agri-marketing jobs through NAMA‘s job bank. You have to be a member though! The new Vice President of Marketing for the …
Ag Meeting Schedule
There are a number of places you can go to find a listing of meetings that are important to the ag industry and there’s a lot of them, especially when it comes to state associations and state fairs. A good place to find them is in AgriMarketing Magazine where you can search them by type and date.

I plan to post the good and the bad without edits. The reporter in this post was responding to an email request for feedback on a series of releases we sent over the …
Blogging The NAMA Convention
Although I planned to blog my way through the upcoming NAMA convention in Phoenix I didn’t plan to have a booth there. That changed today, so AgriMarketing Pros is now an exhibitor! My plan is to be set up with my work station (computer, mixer, microphone, recorder) and conduct interviews throughout the event with other exhibitors, attendees and speakers. I’ll …
Personal Interview With Secretary of Agriculture Mike Johanns
Cindy was able to spend some time on the phone with Mike Johanns, our newest Secretary of Agriculture. We thought you might want to hear the latest from Washington straight from the main man!

Blogging To Switzerland!
Yes. This ag dude got selected to take a blogging trip to Switzerland. I wrote about IFAJ on a recent post. It’s the International Federation of Agricultural Journalists. They have their annual conference this year in Thun/Bern, Switzerland August 31 – September 4. I applied for one of the stipends they award to 3 U-S journalists and was informed yesterday …
