Even though it is 90-plus degrees and dry at the Farm Progress Show this year, the media has cool and comfortable working environment in the new air-conditioned media tent, thanks to our friends at BASF. This is the first year that BASF has sponsored the media tent and Pat Morrow says they really wanted to upgrade to make it a first class working place for the agricultural media who bring the important information to farmers and ranchers every day. “When the media tent opportunity came up it took me about 32 seconds to say ‘yes, we really want to do that’ because we really enjoy working with the ag media…we feel they’re part of our family,” Pat said.

Speaking of family, here is your ZimmComm team standing in front of the BASF Media Tent.

This is our biggest team ever at any event! That’s me, Cindy Z, on the left. Next is Leah Guffey, brand new to the team after a four year hiatus from the ag reporting business. Chuck is in the middle, flanked by his all female team members. Our new fall intern Kristyn Stidham is to Chuck’s right and next to her is our darling expectant mother Jamie Johansen. All of us are busy taking photos, doing interviews and shooting video at the show to bring it home to you.
