Trade Talking

Chuck Zimmerman

Farm BroadcastersThere was a lot of this going on today at the NAFB Trade Talk session. I conducted 10 interviews and I think Cindy got in 9.

We’ll be using ours here and on our other sites like Domestic Fuel and World Dairy Diary in coming weeks.

Broadcasters at NAMA/NAFB Overlap Sessions

Chuck Zimmerman

Farm BroadcastersAt the close of the NAMA Agribusiness Forum farm broadcasters were in attendance with an afternoon session that overlapped with the NAFB Convention.

Here’s a few of the broadcasters who showed up at the Hyatt Crown Center. It’s one of the first times I’ve seen a mult box at a NAMA session.

Hopefully we’ll see it again next year? If you attended these sessions how do you think it went? Was it a good idea to have a joint afternoon session?

Anita Vanderwert was recognized for her sales efforts with the NAMA Professional Development, Award of Excellence – Sales.

After many years of doing interviews for Anita’s client’s I got to finally interview her.

Agribusiness Forum Starts Today

Chuck Zimmerman

NAMA Agribusiness ForumIt’s time for the NAMA Agribusiness Forum. I’ll be the NAMA blogger once again this year but don’t arrive until tomorrow.

In case you missed a recent ZimmCast with the Chairman of this year’s conference you can still find it.

It’s going to be a good program and once again overlaps with the NAFB Convention. Maybe I’ll see you there.

Traditional and New Media in Indiana

Chuck Zimmerman

ZimmCast93 - Hoosier Ag TodayI’m not back to regular office hours yet. Give me another day or so. But I do have internet access so you do get a ZimmCast this week.

In this week’s program you’ll hear from Gary Truitt, Hoosier Ag Today. Gary just got started with his new venture recently and he’s got a website, radio network and has started podcasting.

I interviewed Gary at his office in Indianapolis on a recent trip and learned more about what he’s doing and what he thinks the future holds.
