New Technology From Pioneer

Chuck Zimmerman

Bill KuhnThe first presentation here at the Pioneer event is with Bill Kuhn, Research Director. Bill is talking about new technologies and how Pioneer is bringing those solutions to market. Before we got started I interviewed Bill about these new technologies and what their goal is in bringing the media here today. I also asked him what he thought about blogging his research so producers can follow along with him as he creates the products they’ll be using in the future.

ZimmCast56-Janet KellerHere’s a special ZimmCast for you from Broadhead+Co. After a meeting with Dean Broadhead and his staff I interviewed him about his agency and why he’s positioning it as “focused on the business and life of rural America.” The agency is almost 5 years old now. Dean also talks about strategies he believes work to reach rural America and the agricultural audience. He still believes advertising is important and is very open to new media options.

RFA Blogging The Ethanol Conference

Chuck Zimmerman

RFAI think what we’re doing is starting to catch on. The Renewable Fuels Association announced that they’ll be blogging the National Ethanol Conference. Great idea. The conference comes right after last week’s National Biodiesel Conference in San Diego which was blogged by yours truly for NBB.

Willie & Annie Nelson Support Farmers

Chuck Zimmerman

Chuck & WillieIt took most of the day to get a personal interview with Willie but I got ‘er done. Ask NBB Board member Greg Anderson how difficult it was. Let’s just say they weren’t letting the media do one-on-one’s but where there’s a will there’s an agriblogger.
