NAFB Wave Research Study
I’ve been meaning to write about the National Association of Farm Broadcasting’s Wave Research Study. Looking at this month’s Agrimarketing Magazine prompted me to go ahead. I found it ironic that there’s an ad for Farm Journal Media early in the publication touting their position compared to other major ag pubs and quoting the NAFB study. Then NAFB has an …
Representing Aerial Applicators

That’s because I interviewed NAAA Executive Director, Andrew Moore and he tells us all about it. Andrew has a farm background which fits in very nicely with the …

Or holiday cards, or whatever you call them. Here’s my current favorite from the Alltech Fortnight Festival. You can find it here.

AgRootsTV
I had a chance to look at Alltech’s AgRootsTV this morning and thought I’d make a few comments. I’m not really into doing full reviews here though unless you think I should. I’d like your feedback on that. Every time I do so I find that someone is not happy with me no matter what I say. On to AgRootsTV. …
