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.

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.”

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?

DTN has a new VP for agribusiness advertising. He’s Matthew Herman and he’ll be based out of the Minneapolis office.

I’m wondering if someday our journalism schools will teach event blogging. Probably not until they hire professors who can do it themselves? I noticed that Andy Vance over at Buckeye Ag Radio Network is making the media transition it takes to do more than just one kind of reporting. He’s been blogging the Ohio FFA Convention.
