I’m going to be adding to this post later today. Right now I’m just posting as a demo for this class. I told you I’d update this post and I’ve still got a YouTube clip to add which I’m editing right now. Bill Allen invited me in to talk to his Ag Journalism Capstone class today since they’ve now all …
Why Not YouTube Your Announcement
I’m not going to get all political on you here, just using this YouTube video as an example of how to use new media. Our Missouri Governor Matt Blunt made a very major announcement yesterday afternoon that he would not be running for re-election to a second term. No other hints or allegations and it has surprised a lot of …
International Harvester
This video has been out for a while but just in case you’ve missed it. . . I can only link you to the video version for some reason. First time I’ve seen that. The comments are worth a read. You can watch this YouTube clip which has the song: If you’re just interested in the lyrics you can find …
Giving It A Go In London
Would you classify this as hobby farming? I don’t think it’ll fit into a “rural lifestyle” category. It’s “Giving It A Go.” I’ve been following them for a while as they sort of give it a go. My house mates and I live is a small mid-terrace house in south London. We have decided to try and get the small …
Designing a New Look For Dairy Today
There’s a reason we were taught in college journalism classes to “never work with animals or small children.” In this video from the Pentagram website you’ll see what I’m talking about. I’ve watched this done now quite a few times at livestock shows. I don’t envy DJ the challenge of working with a prima donna who’s only interested in the …
Cotton Picking Precision From John Deere
One of the exhibitors here at the Beltwide Cotton Conferences is John Deere for whom we manage their Precision Pays website. So it was a great opportunity to find out about what they’ve got new for cotton producers. I spoke with Jamie Flood, Product Marketing Manager, just as the trade show was kicking off. Of course John Deere has their …
BASF Beltwide Booth
It seems like Headline has made headlines for BASF and that’s brought in a lot of growers to their booth here at the Beltwide trade show. This isn’t all of the crew here but most of them right before the show got started today. I did a couple interviews in their booth including the following one with Tom McKemie, BASF …
Beltwide Trade Show
The trade show got started here at noon today at the Beltwide. To see what’s it’s like feel free to watch the video. It’s a walk through right as things were getting started. This afternoon there have been a couple of press conferences. The pace here seems kind of slow and relaxed compared to many of the meetings I attend. …
USDA MyPyramid Podcast – Almost
USDA is almost podcasting on its MyPyramid website. I say almost because of this line on their podcast page: “Check back every month for a new video podcast.” Oops. That completely misses the point of podcasting which is about me watching when/where I want and being able to subscribe so I don’t have to go back to a certain web …
Merry Christmas Trees
Merry Christmas Trees from the National Christmas Tree Association. This week’s program is about NCTA and I want to thank them for having audio available on their website. Here’s a good example of why we encourage multi media content on your site. In the program you’ll hear from NCTA President, Beth Walterscheidt, Evergreen Farms Christmas Trees, Elgin, TX. She’s going …
