It’s NAMA Convention week on AgWired and this week’s ZimmCast will help get you jazzed about it. Before getting into that though I review my BIO 2006 convention coverage and talk about the current state of the blogosphere.

A Podcasting Story From BASF
What a week it was last week in Anaheim. I was only there about 3 days. It feels like it was a week. It was a lot of work but a lot got done. Here’s a ZimmCast that contains an interview I conducted in the trade show at the BASF booth. You can also hear a cut from one of the new songs on the Michael Peterson, “Down on the Farm” CD.
Listen To Michael, Mary and Margy
It’s Commodity Classic week here on AgWired. That means you must enter our contest to win a video iPod, which is being sponsored by New Holland and watch for event coverage that includes student bloggers Mary Irelan and Margy Fischer, sponsored by Monsanto. This week’s ZimmCast is a little different. No one on one interview. You can hear some of the music from Michael Peterson’s new CD, “Down on the Farm” and I interviewed both Mary and Margy to find out what they want to accomplish at Classic and what they think about blogging it.
Broadhead+Co Is The “Un-big” Agency
Here’s a special ZimmCast for you from Broadhead+Co. After a meeting with Dean Broadhead and his staff I interviewed him about his agency and why he’s positioning it as “focused on the business and life of rural America.” The agency is almost 5 years old now. Dean also talks about strategies he believes work to reach rural America and the agricultural audience. He still believes advertising is important and is very open to new media options.

One of the sponsors for our World Dairy Diary site is Accelerated Genetics. Janet Keller is the VP for Public Relations, Communications and Advertising. She talks about the company and some of the new projects they’re involved in.
