Just in time for the holidays, Osborn & Barr Communications promotes a few people. Now that’s a nice Christmas gift.
Working Breakfast With MBIC
The Missouri Beef Industry Council leaders are on the job here in Springfield, MO. Here’s chairman Andrew McCrea (left) and executive director, John Kleiboeker listening to a report from Missouri Cattle Association executive vice president, Brent Bryant. Andrew is also an award winning farm broadcaster for Brownfield.
Listen In On Blog Talk Radio Tonight
One of the first people I found when I got started blogging was Wayne Hurlbert, Blog Business World. It was a lot of his ideas about how to use a blog as a business communications tool that formed some of my ideas about how to use this great platform.
Well, Wayne’s a podcaster too and on something called Blog Talk Radio. Tonight at 8pm (Eastern) I’ll be his guest on his program “Blog Business Success Radio.” You can listen in live or use these instructions from Wayne if you can’t:
Mobile Markets For Christmas
One of our advertisers is Commodity Update and I can’t tell you how excited I am to watch this company grow. There are a lot of ways Joel’s product can be used and here’s one he shared with me today. One of his clients is Midwest Seed Genetics. Their lucky customers will be receiving a Christmas card from the company …
WHITWORTH X BALLOUing
I heard from Doug Ballou today and guess I just missed the announcement for his new company, WHITWORTH X BALLOU. I wish him the best of luck and look forward to hearing more about how things are going.
All is Well With Alltech
I’m in Springfield, MO safe and sound. Driving west into the sun with everything covered in white was a painful experience. I guess I could have timed that better.
My first stop here was the local Alltech office and a short visit with Hillary O’Banion the office manager. She’ll be setting up a booth here at the Missouri Cattle Industry Convention sometime tomorrow afternoon. Unfortunately I’m here for a quick visit and will be back at ZimmComm headquarters by then.

Actually an animal rights group has created a PR campaign to create awareness. This is why you need to think about how to get involved in the online conversation folks. This campaign has: a website, a blog …
FCC Rules on Farm Journal Petition
As I reported previously here on AgWired, Farm Journal Media had filed a petition with the FCC regarding RFD-TV’s use of non-commercial DBS (direct broadcast satellite) channels. It’s not a real complicated issue but you have to read through some of the documents to get a handle on it.
Learning More About MO DNR
For the first time in a couple of years I got to attend a Mid Missouri Agribusiness Club meeting today while someone else ran it. It’s much more relaxing this way.
It’s Now a New Media Expo
I haven’t been able to attend either of the first two Expos but maybe the third time will be a charm next year. It used to be called the Podcast & Portable Media Expo. I’m pretty psyched that they’ve changed the name to Podcast & New Media Expo.
If you really want to learn about this whole new media thing we’ve been trying to help you understand you can either: 1. Set up a personal ZimmComm New Media consultation or 2. Attend the Podcast & New Media Expo.
