AgWired

As I’ve said before, networking with your peers is a big benefit of attending the NAMA convention. In the trade show there’s plenty of opportunity to do that as these folks are doing.

Raising money for the Agri-Business Educational Foundation. That’s what the silent auction does. There’s lots to bid on. Stop by and support our youth.

The Ag Media Summit Booth featured a little musical entertainment. Can you say polka-time?

Plan to attend the Summit this summer.

The NAFB team is here. They’ve got the booth right across the aisle from yours truly. I snapped this during the first trade show session.

You can learn more about them at the NAFB website.

They requested no picture taking during the awards. I got this one though before Cyndi started announcing them. This is the on-stage presentation team.

The first announcement at the NAMA Awards Ceremony was the announcement of which student teams made it to the final round. They are: Kansas State, Oklahoma State, Ohio State, Purdue, Michigan State and University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Way to go teams. Good luck in the finals tomorrow.

There’s so many awards given out that I doubt we’ll be able to post them all and I’m not going to even try yet. But while the ceremony is going on I can bring you a few pictures.

The emcee for the awards tonight is Cyndi Young, Farm Director, Brownfield Network. She’s doing a great job as you would expect from a broadcast professional.

Malcolm Media has a great display. They’re the Malcolm Racing Team. I talked to Dan Malcolm, who’s put together a great booth.

Gary & Robin Cooper, Southeast AgNet, now own Citrus Industry magazine. They’re here at NAMA to exhibit and talk about the sunshine state media combination of radio and print!

Gary Schulz, GM, International Agri-Center, Inc., explains what the World Ag Expo is at his NAMA Trade Show booth.
