Hello ZimmComm Folks:
The ZimmComm Team has been working on lots of fresh content from the recent World Pork Expo and John Deere Reveal. We’ll be caught up with all of that fresh news just in time for next week’s journeys that include the Fuel Ethanol Workshop, ASTA Annual Convention and American Ethanol E15 250 race weekend at Iowa Speedway! How’s that for a busy schedule?
Are you looking for some good regular audio programming to listen to? Our podcasts can help you out. For starters, the weekly ZimmCast, sponsored by GROWMARK, is now on episode 548! You can find it in iTunes along with other directories. How about the SMART Farmer Podcast sponsored by USFRA? Yep, it’s in the same directories. Then there is The Ethanol Report sponsored by RFA. These programs are very well established with excellent download/subscriber numbers. We have more in the hopper that will be announced soon too. If you would like us to help you begin or “whomp up” your podcast please give Chuck a call or email him. It’s just one of the things he does and loves to do.

Hello ZimmComm Community:
Got Pork? Jamie is covering World Pork Expo courtesy of Aptimmune this week. As of this morning, she’s covering press conferences and conducting interviews and yep, taking pictures. Keep your eye on AgWired for all the coverage. And for you ag journalists looking for some good content, especially if you couldn’t make it, we’ll be aggregating interviews, press conference audio and photos on AgNewsWire for your free and unfettered use.
This week Jamie has been publishing stories from the John Deere media event that took place last week. You can find her content in the virtual ag newsroom on AgNewsWire here.
Our one-armed AgriBlogger is recovering very well. He is already making travel plans! And of course, he watched this week’s live announcements from Apple and has placed an order. Hey, if you’re going to keep on the cutting edge of technology and be a true AgNerd then it’s what you do.
We’ll stop now. Just keep in mind that the ZimmComm Team is a very well established group of social media strategists, editors and digital content producers waiting to lend our expertise to your projects, whatever they may be. Have mobile devices, Will travel.

Hello ZimmComm Fans:
Chuck, Cindy and the Golden ZimmComm Microphone rocked it again for the National Biodiesel Board last week as Biodiesel Bloggers. All their stories have now been published if you want to take a look. Meanwhile, over at AgNewsWire.com you can see the virtual ag media room we created for NBB to share with all ag journalists. Most ag journalists couldn’t attend the National Biodiesel Conference but they can find lots of media choices for their use in broadcasts, publications, websites and newsletters! Want us to create a virtual ag media room for you?
Jamie is back from Panama and traveling with the U.S. Soybean Export Council (USSEC) and Soy Aquaculture Alliance (SAA). These groups joined forces to host the 2017 Aquaculture Educational Opportunity in Panama City, Panama. U.S. soybean growers, researchers and aquaculture experts gathered to take in the latest on the fastest growing animal protein – aquaculture. Attendees also visited the Panama Canal and witnessed the center of global trade and the import role U.S. soy plays in the international economy. And guess what? We have a virtual ag media room from that event as well!
For all you AgNerds out there, in case you missed them, Chuck just completed a two part series, “Buds and Pods.” He tried out two new products, including the Apple AirPods. Hope you find them helpful. Part One – Part Two

G’day ZimmComm Tribe:
Chuck presented a session on farm podcasting at last week’s Cultivate & Connect Conference and he’s all about the “tribe” right now. Go figure. Chuck also found out from this group that there is a lot of interest in podcasting. Having coined the term farm podcasting, keep him in mind if you have questions or would like a quote on creating a podcast series for your company or organization.
Is your company going to be seen at the 2017 Cattle Industry Convention or International Production & Processing Expo? Want some great online exposure to help boost your buzz? Consider sponsoring our coverage of these events using that unique ZimmComm style. Our AgWired brand, especially, Animal.AgWired.com can be a force for your good! Contact Chuck or Clint to learn how.

We hope you’re getting ready with us.

Hello ZimmComm Family:
ZimmComm World Headquarters is drying out after about 6 inches of rain yesterday. We get dry but we seem to always catch up!
Cindy is in Chicago this week for the ASTA CSS 2016 & Seed Expo courtesy of ASTA and BASF. Her flight was delayed about 3 hours last night and she got to the hotel by midnight without luggage but with a little help from friends she’s on the floor with stories coming on AgWired. That’s what it means to have ZimmComm at your event. We’re kind of like the U.S. Postal Service don’t you know.
Chuck takes off for the 2016 Cultivate & Connect Conference hosted by the AgChat Foundation this week. On Thursday afternoon he’ll be conducting a session on podcasting. If you produce a regular farm podcast please let him know and he’ll include it in his presentation. You can listen to a preview of this year’s conference in his weekly ZimmCast podcast here.
Last week Jamie attended the 2016 North American PRRS Symposium courtesy of BIVI with stories now being posted on Animal.AgWired.com. There is also new AgWired content being posted this week from the 2016 ARA Conference & Expo so don’t forget to check it out.
