ZimmCast

Cindy shares interviews from this year's program.

This ZimmCast comes to you from the 25th annual Agricultural Retailers Association (ARA) conference and expo in Phoenix. Chuck interviews ARA communications director Brian Reuwee, provides comments from BASF and Monsanto representatives about dicamba in 2018, and shares the comments of ARA's retailer of the year award winners.

We want to thank our podcast sponsor since 2011, GROWMARK, locally owned, globally strong.

In this week's program Chuck introduces Jamie who conducted NAFB Convention, Trade Talk booth interview with Mike Krull, FMC, regarding the completion of the FMC/Dupont deal and also Jim Lappin, AMVAC, about their new products.

We hope you enjoy it and thank you for listening.

At the start of the annual National Association of Farm Broadcasting convention Chuck, Cindy and Jamie got together to talk about how long they've been attending the meetings, how Jamie joined the team and then they share a featured interview with Paul Spooner, USFRA, who talks about his job doing communications work for the organization.

The team will be on location throughout the meeting, taking photos, doing interviews and sharing them on AgNewsWire in a virtual newsroom.

The new and expanded ZimmCast is here.  After informally polling our audience and looking at new podcast research we clearly heard that you want more.  So the length of the ZimmCast will increase with features of interviews from events we have or are attending and will continue to bring you what's new in the world of agribusiness with a focus on agricultural marketing.

This week's program features a conversation with National FFA Advisor, Dr. Steve Brown. Jamie Johansen is involved in judging during the National FFA Convention but had time to sit down with Dr. Brown. According to Jamie, "Dr. Brown and my dad were state FFA officers together and then worked for the Missouri Department of Elementary & Secondary Education in Agricultural Education for decades together. Long-time friends and colleagues."
