What does NASA think of agricultural production? You can find out in a podcast series they’ve produced that “spotlights scientific advances in monitoring agricultural production and landscape changes that affect the sustainability of the world’s food supply. The videos also examine the partnerships between NASA and other government agencies concerned with the availability of food.” Beginning September 23, a new …
Grains Council Starts Council Cast Podcast
Add another farm podcast to your list. The U. S. Grains Council has introduced Council Cast. A team of Egyptian nutritionists traveled to the United States this week for a short course at the International Grains Program at Kansas State University, designed to educate the participants on the inclusion of U.S. sorghum in feed rations. Chris Corry, U.S. Grains Council …
Video For The Farm Podcaster
I have to agree with James Lewin, Podcasting News, that it’s about time a cheap camcorder comes with an external audio/mic input. The biggest weakness of the Flip camera is the fact that you can’t plug in an external microphone or other audio input. Well Kodak has changed all that with the introduction of their Z18 pocket video camera. In …

Here are some key points from the session. * 1 in …

Some tidbits that stood out for me include: 43% of Americans are aware of podcasts and 20% have listened to them Internet access from any location is now approaching 9 in 10 Americans Dial-up is down to less than 1 in 6 homes with internet …
Farm Podcaster Tool
The farm podcaster who is all about quality may want to look into the Tascam DR-100. This bad boy looks pretty sweet to me. I like the fact that it has built-in XLR inputs. It’s a little larger than a Marantz PMD 620 (still on sale for $100 off!) but still small form factor. Records on an SD card. The …
New Media Soybeans
I just found out about the United Soybean Board’s podcast called, BeanCast. I had heard they were planning to produce one but I guess I missed it somehow since it looks like it started last December. It came up in conversation today. I’m glad to see another ag group taking advantage of this new media option. A couple of things …
