AgWired

Earlier this week we alerted you to the new promotion that New Holland’s doing with the new Michael Peterson album. Here’s Cindy and me with Michael earlier today after I got to interview him. That’s one of those interviews that I hope to have for you soon.

Here’s an early picture of the AGCO crew at Trade Talk. They look fresh and ready to go. I wonder what an “after” picture would look like?

I conducted an interview with Todd Stucke, General Marketing Manager that will be featured here on AgWired soon. I just don’t have the time to edit it yet.

In fact, I’ve got some great interviews that I’ll be posting over the next few weeks from Trade Talk.

This is pretty much the pose you see at a Trade Talk booth. Here’s NAFB president, Emery Kleven, conducting an interview.

A real issue at Trade Talk is that there’s so many booths and so little time. There’s just no way one person can possibly make it for even a short visit to all the booths here. I think there’s 98 booths and in my best year I’ve done 34 interviews in one Trade Talk and I think that’s a lot. At least that’s all I could do since my voice quit working at that point.

By the time you’ve done a dozen interviews it gets very difficult to focus and concentrate on the subject matter. That’s when the public relations staff really comes in handy. You just enter the booth and say “What do you want me to ask you?” And thankfully they have handy little talking points to help us do our interview.

The NAFB convention is underway here in Kansas City and one of the first main activities is Trade Talk. This is a unique trade show where companies and organizations exhibit with representatives who are available to be interviewed by the attending broadcasters who hopefully will use the interviews in their broadcasts, or in our case, podcasts.

Here’s Michelle Hummel, Propane Education & Research Council. I’m wondering if this is really an interview going on or if she’s getting ready to attack this unsuspecting broadcaster.
