A ZimmCast On Rural Internet Access

Chuck Zimmerman

ZimmCast51-Tim GanschowThe issue of rural internet access is a very important one in agricultural marketing and communications today. Last week I posted the full presentation made by Tim Ganschow, Agristar Global Networks, at the Gateway NAMA meeting. I’ve selected a couple of segments from Tim’s talk for you in this week’s ZimmCast. I hope you enjoy it.

Play Combine Combat

Chuck Zimmerman

Combine CombatI hope Cindy doesn’t read this post since it’s about a new online computer game called Combine Combat. It’s created by Successful Farming and John Deere. I played through all 4 levels. My first time final score was 407,494. How’s that stack up against your score? I can see in there user forum that a couple people have gotten higher that 600,000. I wonder who’s tops.

I’ve been meaning to post this for a few days. You get busy, the emails pile up, you know how it is. After reading this article on MarketingVox I wonder how the same study would apply to farmers.

Bugs Have Been Bugging Me Today

Chuck Zimmerman

I had hoped to have some more items posted today but thanks to a bug on my main notebook computer that hasn’t been possible. If I could find the person who created this bug I’d love to “pinch his little head off” as a good friend of mine likes to say.
