Post Update: ZimmComm New Media is now a sponsor of this year’s NAMA Boot Camp.

Rural and Farm Blogs
While I was doing a little online research for one of our clients I came across quite a few blogs I wasn’t aware of. Actually I did know about this one but not that the Center for Rural Affairs had moved their’s. On their site you can find links to other rural blogs. The first one I actually landed on …
Codex Alimentarius Commission Meeting
I had to post this just because I like saying, “Codex Alimentarius.” Of course saying it and understanding it are two different things. If you really want to understand it then get yourself to Rome for the 30th annual meeting of the Codex Alimentarius Commission. I can think of worse places to be. Simply stated, the Codex Alimentarius is a …
Downloading My Flickr Photos
I’ve been asked this often enough that I thought I’d post it for you. I’ve got lots of photos in my Flickr sets and sometimes someone wants to use one. Well, I’ve made them all publicly available and recently I started uploading them at the highest setting Flickr will allow. This lets you download a photo at a quality that …
On The Tonight Show Set With Jay Leno
I got this photo from Joe Jobe at the National Biodiesel Board while we were in Nashville at the CMA Music Festival and stuck it in a note pad and just found it this afternoon. This is from when we were on the set with Jay Leno recently before going with him to his garage after the show. It’s a …
Dupont and Foss Helping Farmers and Ethanol Producers
Here’s more proof that our production of ethanol, especially using corn, is becoming a more and more efficient process. I find it amazing how much work is being done by so many companies that you never hear about in the mainstream media. Companies like Dupont/Pioneer and Foss North America are making some real strides in a very short time period. …
Ethanol Powering IndyCars and Choppers
After spending another week on the road at the world’s largest tailgate party of corn growers, the Iowa Corn Indy 250 you get a ZimmCast about ethanol. This week’s program starts out with an EPIC update from executive director, Tom Slunecka which we did in the media center at Iowa Speedway. Then you can hear what the Indycars sound like …
Pull For Agricultural Education
If you’d like to pull for agricultural education then you might want to do it at this event coming up in Illinois. The “Pull for Agriculture Education” is classic event with a new twist. The Illinois Farm Bureau and the IAA Foundation have traditionally hosted separate shooting events, but are combining their efforts in 2007. This event will be a …
Tractor Cruising in Iowa
On the way to the Iowa Speedway last week I was driving along behind Alan Slunecka who was taking the EPIC mobile learning center to the track. All of the sudden he slowed way down. It turns out that we came up behind a tractor ride. I think this is the Tractor Cruise USA. If not, can someone correct me? …
Kimberly Taylor Starts AFVI Blog
Since it’s been another wild week of alternative fuel blogging I thought I should point you to a relatively new alternative fuel blogger. She’s Kimberly Taylor at the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Institute. You might remember that I blogged their annual convention last year. I guess all my evangelizing is being noticed eh? I like Kimberly’s style and from what I …
