New NAFB member Kyle Hill (KRES, Moberly, MO) was named 2015 Ag Communicator of the Year by the Missouri Department of Agriculture this past December.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth at Commodity Classic 2016. Farm radio connects with today’s technology savvy farmers. We learned a lot of great reasons why farm broadcasting is important for the agricultural industry. 

Congratulations to Ben Nuelle, Farm Broadcaster with Iowa Agribusiness Radio Network, Des Moines, Iowa. Ben was awarded The Doan during 2016 National Ag Day Celebrations. Ben’s winning entry titled “Buried To The Neck” provides a first-person perspective on surviving a horrific grain bin entrapment. All farmers know the danger of becoming entrapped in grain, and very few survive.
