Marcus Rediger, Switzerland, is the IFAJ money man who presented the financials, budget and also introduced a project for IFAJ’s 50 year anniversary this year. A DVD has been produced that chronicles some of the history of the organization as well as just helping explain what agricultural journalism is like around the world.
The DVD is available by ordering from IFAJ directly or you can contact your country guild office. In the United States that would be the American Agricultural Editors Association.

I don’t even want to think about what time it is locally here in Hamar. We just got back from seeing the final night production of 
Did I mention that Peer Gynt is a truly bizarre play? If not, I should have. I really did not know what to expect, especially since it was not in my language.
