It was quite an honor to receive the Agriculture Communicator of the year at the 98th annual meeting of the Minnesota Farm Bureau on Friday evening at the DoubleTree Hotel in Bloomington. I was a little concerned about the weather so Louise and I allowed plenty of time Friday evening to get to the DoubleTree Hotel on Highway 100 just off of I-494 in Bloomington. If roads are poor you never know how bad traffic can be backed up on 494.

It was really nice that so many Farm Bureau members after the banquet came up to congratulate me and say thank you for what you do! I find the Minnesota Farm Bureau and the American Farm Bureau a great resource as a farm broadcaster. If you want to talk with an economist, they have one, if you want to know what is going on at the Minnesota Legislature or in Washington, D.C., they have public policy directors. Thank you to the Minnesota Farm Bureau for honoring me with the Agriculture Communicator of the Year award!
