Another farm broadcaster joins the ranks of agribloggers. He’s Peter Shinn, Brownfield’s Wait AgriBusiness Network and he’s back from a stint with the Iowa Air National Guard.
Dave’s Picture
I was going to add this picture of Dave Russell to the post I did on him going to work for Brownfield but, well, time slipped by and just in case you aren’t searching the archives and watching your feeds closely . . .
Here’s Dave Russell and here’s the story.
Russell Joins Brownfield Team
The Brownfield folks have added to their team. It seems to just keep growing. They’ve hired Dave Russell. There’s a well-known name in the farm broadcasting ranks. Dave began at WRFD in Columbus, Ohio, before moving on to WOWO in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, and then the Indiana voice for Tribune Radio Networks. That’s where he was working back when I introduced the Brownfield Network into Indiana. Lately Dave has been serving as Agricultural Liaison for the Indiana Department of Environmental Management.
BASF Brings Joy To The Media
Moving up to gold sponsorship this year at the Agricultural Media Summit is BASF. Gold means sponsoring a lot of things. I interviewed BASF Communications Manager, Joy Watson, to learn what they’re doing and why.
Brownfield Open Phones
Brownfield, Ag News and Indiana Pork are teaming up for another teleconference coming up July 26.
The Class Is In
Even after our immense meal last night at the Angus Barn we all made it in this morning.
DTN Gets Weather Customers
It must be nice to pick up 20,000 customers just like that. That’s what DTN Meteorlogix just did by obtaining the customers of Surface Systems, Inc.
Agritalk’s Barn of the Week
Here’s where AgriTalk host Mike Adams worked when he was growing up (has he actually stopped growing up?). This is good to know because it’s an example of pictures you’ll start finding on the AgriTalk website. It’s a new feature they have called “Barn of the Week.”
Shinn Joins Brownfield
He’s a great farm broadcaster and I know he’ll do a good job for Brownfield. He’s Peter Shinn and no longer with the NAFB. Peter is now going to be the farm director for Waitt Agribusiness. Okay Learfield people, is it Brownfield or Waitt?
XM Satellite Radio Booth
I told you I would stop in at the XM Satellite Radio studio.
