Hello ZimmComm Fans:
This week the agriblogging highway took Chuck to Moultrie, GA and the Sunbelt Ag Expo. You canfind some stories from the show on AgWired. He was there primarily to obtain some video for posting onto the New Holland Boomer 555 Contest blog. This is a social media driven promotion for New Holland's compact tractor line and the new Boomer Guard 5 Warranty.
Chuck shot the video there with the new iPhone 4S. He's more convinced than ever that this is the best all around mini computer/phone/camera on the market. It was a test and confirmed that the camera in the new iPhone is a whole level better than the one in the previous model. Feel free to ask him about using the new iPhone for agriblogging and farm podcasting!
Earlier in the week Chuck moderated FoodChat for the first time. FoodChat replaces the weekly AgChat Twitter conversation once a month on the 3rd Tuesday. The sessions take place from 8-10pm, eastern. He has moderated AgChat a number of times over the years (years?, hard to believe). Follow along using the hashtags, #FoodChat or #AgChat.
Our latest ZimmPoll asked the question, "Should the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS2) be changed?" A majority at 53% said, No, it's working as intended; 32% said Get rid of it entirely and 15% said Yes, change to adapt to corn stocks.
Our new ZimmPoll is now live. We're asking the question, "Are Farm Show Smartphone Apps Useful?" What do you think? The latest one on Chuck's phone is the Sunbelt Know on the Go App. Take our poll and feel free to comment. Thank you.
Here are some interviews/audio that you might have missed this week:
