Watching Washinton With NAFB
Hey you NAFB’ers who will be attending the National Association of Farm Broadcasting, Washington Watch. You may know that we’ll have Wayne Pacelle, CEO, HSUS, speaking at dinner on Monday evening.

NAFB Wave Research Study
I’ve been meaning to write about the National Association of Farm Broadcasting’s Wave Research Study. Looking at this month’s Agrimarketing Magazine prompted me to go ahead. I found it ironic that there’s an ad for Farm Journal Media early in the publication touting their position compared to other major ag pubs and quoting the NAFB study. Then NAFB has an …
