Hello ZimmComm Fans:
We hope you had a wonderful Independence Day and are enjoying the long holiday weekend. Well, it's a long weekend for some people anyway.
Let's look at the results of our latest ZimmPoll which asked the question, "Do you listen to satellite radio?" The results would suggest that not everyone has hopped on the satellite radio bandwagon. However, we did see a quick spike in the "No, never will" answer which seems suspicious. What do you think about these results? Our poll results: Forty-three percent said Yes, forty-one percent said No, Never Will, twelve percent said No, Plan To and four percent said Other. Have your listening habits changed? We didn't ask about the options which include traditional broadcast radio as well as internet radio. We might need to ask this again with those choices to see what happens!
Our new ZimmPoll is now live and asks the question, "What is the greatest threat to our freedom to farm?" Let us know what you think. And thank you!
Here are some interviews from this week you might have missed:
Now for some news from the ZimmComm News Network:

Landmark Services Cooperative Scouting Drones
Taking your iPad out in the field to fly a drone sounds like a lot of fun. This "fun" activity is becoming a business task more and more. The agronomists at Landmark Services Cooperative are getting in on the fun by using tablet-controlled drones for field scouting. One of the advantages this provides is quicker scouting times (up to 60% time savings) which means detecting problems faster. I talked with Dan Moehn, VP, Landmark Agronomy, about their use of this new technology. He says they just started using the drones at the beginning of this growing season. MOREPodcast
