Cindy has been on location this week with the American Farm Bureau Federation at its annual meeting.  Follow her  coverage on AgWired to see what she is seeing and hearing.  Of course you can also find all her digital ag news media content on  AgNewsWire too.

Speaking of  AgNewsWire  does your company or organization wish you could have a  virtual media room for your convention, field event or media day?  You can.  Just contact  Clint or  Chuck to schedule a ZimmComm Team member to attend and create custom digital content for your very own virtual media room.  It is very economical and that content can not only be provided to ag media members but also utilized for your own web and social networking channels!
