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.

For all you agricultural journalists, please don't forget about all the free and timely content you can find on  AgNewsWire.com.  It is your online agricultural news service after all.

Now for some news from the ZimmComm News Network:
