While Cindy is getting ready to head on over to the National Farm Machinery Show this morning I thought I’d share my latest video for the Drive Green Utility Tractor Show. I’m starting to get used to the whole new YouTube HD thing and I love it. I thought this would be especially appropriate since John Deere is sponsoring Cindy’s …
AgWired Live TV Brings You Drive Green Show
We were broadcasting live earlier this evening from the Ft. Worth Stock Show & Rodeo in Watt Arena. Here’s the setup. I really didn’t know we’d have fairly good internet access but thought I’d give it a try. So, while my Mac was broadcasting live, I was recording the show with a video camera and also an audio recorder. I …
Give The Customers Their Turn
After about 230 pictures here in Houston, I’m done. Of course that doesn’t count about 2 hours of video and audio that includes about a dozen interviews. This afternoon it was the customer’s turn to see the show in the arena and then get to ride and drive these new utility tractors and Gators. The sun was shining and I …
Online In Houston
Good morning from Texas. AT&T seems to have fixed their 3G problem and now I can “get out.” This morning local area John Deere dealers got a presentation on the new line of utility tractors in a classroom style setting before heading out to ride and drive them before the general public gets here this afternoon. I’ve already update the …
A Green Afternoon in Houston

Driving Green in 2009
Welcome to another week in the world of agribusiness. To kick it off I thought I’d share one of the latest video clips on the John Deere Drive Green Utility Tractor Show blog. I’m really having fun with this project and it’s going to keep me busy. I’ll be in Houston later this month as we kick off the “Year …
Trucking On Down The Farm Podcast Highway
The year is trucking right along and in this week’s program we keep on trucking with ZimmCast #200. To keep with the trucking theme the program has an interview with Ron Lang, John Deere, who is the Drive Green Utility Tractor Show driver. I’m going a regular feature for the project called the Truck Driver’s Diary and just updated it …
Driving Green in HD
Perhaps you’ve heard about YouTube allowing bigger file uploads and HD quality. Perhaps not. That’s what ZimmComm is here for. This week I’ve been experimenting with video to provide higher quality via the online destination for video. It has not been easy but then whatever is that’s worth it? With the new John Deere Drive Green project we’re involved in …
Drive Green Show Rolls On
It’s back on location time here in Gainesville, FL at GreenSouth Equipment and another Drive Green Utility Tractor Show stop. I wonder if all John Deere dealers have internet access this good. I love it. I just took a break from interviews and photos to get some posting done here and on the Drive Green Show Blog. I’ve started shooting …
