I\u2019m Chuck Zimmerman. In this episode I have a very special guest. I haven\u2019t talked to him recently but we did quite a bit in the early days of AgWired. He\u2019s Harry Siemens and some of you may have heard or read his Siemens Says. He just received a very well deserved award and we\u2019ll talk about that too.&amp;nbsp; The award was initiated by U.S. farm broadcasters Lynn Ketelsen of the Linder Farm Network, the late Orion Samuelson, and Max Armstrong, longtime voices in agricultural broadcasting and fellow members of the National Association of Farm Broadcasting (NAFB). Together, they sought to recognize Siemens' lifetime of contributions to agricultural journalism and his efforts to strengthen relationships between Canadian and American farmers. Throughout his career, Siemens has covered crop production, livestock, trade, transportation, weather, farm policy and rural life, earning the respect of farmers, agricultural leaders and fellow broadcasters across North America. That\u2019s the ZimmCast for now. If you have some exciting news in the agrimarketing world, feel free to contact me for the next episode. Just email at chuck@zimmcomm.biz.
