Farm Equipment Manufacturers AssociationHere’s one of my next stops on the agricultural marketing highway. The Farm Equipment Manufacturers Association will be holding their convention in Minneapolis next week. I’ll be part of a panel titled, “Marketing Communications Strategies & Tactics.” It’s going to be on Tuesday afternoon and features some real experts like, Dale Bentlage of Global Reach Internet Productions, Joe Baitinger of Farm Market ID and Connor Flynn of Lessing Flynn.

Appaloosa Horse ClubThe 2006 World Championship Appaloosa Show is underway now in Ft. Worth, TX. This is significant because by next year’s show there will be content from the event as it’s happening on a new website we’re developing for The Appaloosa Horse Club. And of course, it’s a blog. It’s not ready yet or I’d direct you to it.

Quality Time With CAB

Chuck Zimmerman

CAB Quality TimeI so love to blur the lines. Here’s a story from Certified Angus Beef that’s targeted to farm broadcasters. It comes as a story that’s written in 2 versions (30 sec and 60 sec) and a soundbite. Now that’s cool and I’ve helped Steve Suther and company get started “doing it themselves.”
