Hello from Lambert Field, waiting on an already delayed flight. Beautiful weather here so who knows why. For all you NAFB members and farm tweeters, please use the #NAFB hashtag in your tweets this week. If you search it you’ll find that the conversation has already started. I posed the question “Will HSUS or new USDA admin/budget or Issues Forum …
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. Good thing we have a reception first. I think I’ll need some fortification to listen to his remarks. Maybe it will be entertaining though (in a sick, twisted sort …
NAFB’ers at Cattle Industy Convention
Speaking of NAFB, it’s always been kind of a tradition to have the members get together for a photo. We did that last night at the media reception. Of course not everyone attending was there at the time. But it’s still a group. Thanks to Colleen Church-McDowall for taking the picture of us. There are a lot of photos in …
Greg Akagi Is Part of the Team
At this morning’s Producer Huddle, formerly known as general session 2, the President-Elect of the National Association of Farm Broadcasting, Greg Akagi, was on stage. The session was a sports team theme so Greg’s comments followed that line. When he was finished he got everyone to “break the huddle” by yelling “team.” You can listen to Greg here: cic-09-akagi.mp3 There …
Rural Life Radio.com
It looks like Mike Parry has Rural Life Radio.com up and running. On it you can watch video interviews from the SHOT show. Hmm. Video clips on the web/radio broadcasting? Goes together, eh? I assume this is a project of the NAFB. Feel free to add to comments. “Welcome to RuralLifeRadio.com. This website is dedicated to those living the rural …

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 …
What’s New With BASF
Let’s go back to the NAFB Convention and Trade Talk for this week’s program and learn what’s new with BASF. To find out I interviewed Amber Shirley, Technical Services Specialist and Craig Lindholm, Marketing Manager – Seed Treatment. You’ll hear them both talk about plant health. Here in this picture is Amber getting interviewed before I got my turn. She …
AGROTAIN Excited About Agriculture
Another new exhibitor at NAFB Trade Talk this year was AGROTAIN International. You might remember us covering the grand opening of their new stabilized nitrogen production facility and urea storage center in St. Louis a couple of months ago. I talked with president Mike Stegmann at NAFB about how the new facility is doing and just what they have to …
Get Ready for AgConnect Expo
NAFB Trade Talk is a great way to get new information out to farm broadcasters and that is what the Association of Equipment Manufacturers did this year at the event, talking about the new AG CONNECT 2010 expo. Charlie O’Brien, vice president of agricultural services for AEM, had the chance to talk about the progress being made on the new …
