Hello ZimmComm Fans:
There has been a lot of buzz this week about the new Apple mobile operating system, iOS 5 and the new iPhone 4S. Chuck has already shared some thoughts about iOS 5 and by the time you read this he'll probably be setting up his new iPhone 4S. So, if you've got questions you know who to ask.
He's also getting an increasing number of questions about Google+ and will be participating in a social media training webinar on this subject next week for the National Corn Growers Association. You can look at the numbers and see that there over 800 million on Facebook and just over 40 million on G+. But what does that mean? Our suggestion is to get your G+ account and see for yourself. If you have questions feel free to ask Chuck. As you might know, he's not shy about sharing!
Our latest ZimmPoll asked the question,"How do you feel about the corn supply/demand status?"Sounds like there's a little worry out there according to the results. 42% answered, Worried - there's not enough; 34% said No worries - there's plenty; 13% said, Don't care and 11% said It will be better next year. If you're worried, why?
Here are some interviews or other audio that you might have missed:
- Thad Simons, Novus International, interview at St. Louis Ag Club Mtg.
- Travis Maier, Morgan & Myers, Badger NAMA President
- Katie Wirkus, 64th Alice in Dairyland
- John Schouten, CEO, World Wide Sires
- Joel Groskreutz, President/CEO, Accelerated Genetics
- Howard Brown, GROWMARK Agronomy Services Manager, fall nitrogen management
