If you’re a long time AgWired reader then you’ll know that I go on a weekend retreat once a year. It’s something I highly recommend to everyone. I’ll be heading there tomorrow morning and back on Sunday late. I just thought I’d give you a heads up so you’ll know why there won’t be any new posts after tomorrow morning …

What’s your company or organization doing about Earth Day, 2007? It’s coming up on April 22. I’d like to know if you’ve got any plans or events you’d like to have featured here on AgWired. I’m interested in agricultural related ones in case you don’t know that. Farmers and ranchers are the original conservationists and environmentalists no matter what the …

This week I’m on the road again making some presentations which is far different from covering an event. My posting might be a little light but then again maybe I’ll find some time. I have had a few AgWired fans say that their life gets so dull when there’s nothing new so I feel the pressure to bring you ever …

We’ve finally got the comment feature of AgWired turned back on and working. Starting today, I’m going to leave comments open on all new posts I write. So feel free to join in conversation with me as we look at agricultural marketing together. The posts that I wrote during the time comments were turned off don’t have comments allowed although …

This week ZimmComm New Media introduces a new logo and a new look for ZimmComm.biz. We’re celebrating 3 years in business and over 2 years helping agribusiness companies and agencies navigate the new media world. Thank you to all the various companies and organizations we’ve had the honor to work with. It wouldn’t be possible otherwise. I look forward to …

Our presenter here at the appleJAC Mac Users Group meeting is going through the different types of digital cameras there are available. He hasn’t mentioned the iSight built in to most Macs today. So while he’s talking my buddy Steve Mays here and I are doing digital photography and I’m posting to AgWired. I know this doesn’t have anything to …

Here’s a new/next step in my Mac conversion experience. I’m attending my first appleJAC Mac Users Group meeting. “Hello, my name is Chuck Zimmerman and I’m a Macaholic.” Actually we’re getting a presentation on digital photography right now. There’s about 25 of us in attendance. I’m hoping for some time to meet with and ask some questions of these folks …

Now you can go online to make reservations at federal parks. You can also find out lots of information about what’s available and where. It’s a new website that the departments of the Interior and Agriculture kicked off last week. They encourage you to “Explore Your America.” This interagency web site allows the public to view photos and information on …

This picture shows you why I miss Florida. This is Ft. Lauderdale beach on Sunday where I went for a power walk in the sand. That’s one of the reasons I didn’t post much after Saturday’s late night, rain-delayed, IRL race. Sometimes you just need a little relaxation. All I had with me was my Palm Treo but it does …

Hello from South Florida. This has been my first trip with the Macbook Pro and I thought it would provide a good context for an update on my conversion experience. First of all, I thought that in a week or so with the new box I was pretty well prepared for this but it has been a challenge. When you’re …
