Extreme Makeover Case IH Style

Chuck Zimmerman

ZimmCast92 - CaseIH Extreme MakeoverI’ve got a very interesting interview this week with Kyle Russell, Director, Livestock Marketing, Case IH.

Case IH participated in an Extreme Makeover: Home Edition to help an Iowa family (The Kibe’s) who’s home was destroyed. They donated a new Case IH JX1100U tractor with a LX252 loader to the family.

Buckeye Agriblogging Farm Podcaster

Chuck Zimmerman

ZimmCast90 - Blogging in the Buckeye State with Andy VanceThe Buckeye Ag Radio Network (The BARN) is about to turn 1 year old so I interviewed one of the “Hired Hands,” Andy Vance to find out how it’s going. He and his wife and partner, Lindsay, have created a very nice farm media company that blends the old with the new. In other words, he’s a farm broadcaster who can still be heard on the air and online using new media tools like blogging and podcasting.

Missouri Beef Blogging

Chuck Zimmerman

ZimmCast89 - Beef Blogging With John KleiboekerI know you’re familiar with the Missouri Beef Industry Council because they’ve been a new media pioneer in the agricultural community. Earlier today I spent some time with their new Executive Director, John Kleiboeker, who I believe is going to be a great agriblogger. He’ll be getting started after his first board meeting as a staff member later this week. In fact, he’s been to many board meetings because he used to be a board member!

Meet Kelcy Schroder

ZimmCast82 - Student Blogger Kelcy SchroderI’ve got another Skypecast this week for a ZimmCast. I was chatting with Kelcy Schroder about our joint, Monsanto-sponsored, blog coverage of the Farm Progress Show this week and recorded some Q&A with her. I thought it might be a good way for you to get to know her before you see her posts beginning tomorrow afternoon.
