There’s a nice article on Chief Marketer that contains reasons for blogging. These apply to any company in today’s world, even you farmers who are trying to market your products in the global economy. The article is written by Bob Cargill. He lists 10 reasons you should consider blogging:
Lang Joins Learfield
It looks like the folks at Learfield Communications have found a leader for their new Creative Services division. Kim Lang, who was most recently working at DTN, will be joining the firm soon. I’ve got a call in to Kim to get some more details about the position and the services that will be offered by the new division.
Veal A Featured Holiday Recipe
The Beef Checkoff got a nice boost to their Vealstore website traffic after “Chef Laurent Tourondel (pictured) of BLT Steak in New York City joined Today Show Host Al Roker in demonstrating an elegant holiday veal recipe.”
New Board Members Pop Up
Yes, I’ve been wanting to get out and play golf. Especially if I can have a double chocolate popcorn ball. I don’t think you’re supposed to tee these off though. The Popcorn Board wants you to make and eat them.
You Must Learn About Rust
You can find out all the latest about soybean rust at a series of seminars that kick off Thursday in St. Louis. The American Soybean Association is offering these programs. There’s several to choose from. They’re free to ASA members.
A Pre-NCBA Convention Discussion
It’s a new year on AgWired and our first ZimmCast of the year is with the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association president-elect, Mike John. Mike talks about the issues that will be discussed at the upcoming Cattle Industry Convention & Trade Show in Denver. He encourages cattlemen to become members and get involved in the process.
Happy New Year From ZimmComm
It’s the end of the year and although I don’t have a “year in review” to offer I do have some statistics, reflections and ideas to share. Statistics as in traffic to the ZimmComm blogs. I’ll update this post if there’s a big change in the numbers by midnight (that is if I remember).
Learfield Communications Gets Creative
Learfield Communications is getting Creative I see. I still have a few Google news alerts and this morning one of them pointed me to TellTail Signs which wrote about AgWired. This is “Learfield Creative: Crafting Content for the Long Tail.” I’m glad to see a traditional media company branching out into the brave new media world.
NAFB Top Ten Stories of 2005
I have no motivation or inspiration to do a year in review so I’m glad that others are taking care of these duties. I guess I think that if anyone wants to know about the year at AgWired they can just scroll down!
