Hello ZimmComm Fans:
Chuck received some very special recognition from the National Agri-Marketing Association on Wednesday. He was announced as this year's recipient of the NAMA Professional Development Award of Excellence for Public Relations. Chuck says, "I am very honored and humbled to be selected for this award by my peers in the agrimarketing community. It really means a lot to me." Chuck was also appointed to the NAMA Executive Committee and will start serving his term at the first of the year. Our latest ZimmPoll seems to have hit a nerve judging by the number of responses. We asked, "What is the cause of obesity?" Eighty six percent said Bad eating/exercise habits! Only 8% said Over processed food, 4% said Genetics, 2% said Fast food restaurants and no one chose Lack of food regulation. Eating really is a personal choice as well as a necessity. Seems like personal responsibility trumps all else here. What do you think? Our new ZimmPoll is now live. We're asking the question, "Which Republican Candidate for President is best for Ag?" There are a lot of them and we've listed the main contenders of the moment. What do you think? Feel free to add a comment here. Here are some interviews you might have missed this week: Now for some news from the ZimmComm News Network:
