Hello ZimmComm Community:

Happy Thanksgiving to all! Hope everyone is taking time this week to be with family and friends and enjoy the bounty of our land! We are very thankful this year, as always, to be able to serve the wonderful people in this industry and promote American agriculture.

Obviously we have the week off, but we will be back on the Agriblogging highway next week heading to Orlando for the  Ag Retailers Association  annual meeting. We are still getting  audio from NAFB posted  and have lots of great stuff on AgNewsWire if you need content for the holidays for your website, publication, or news programming.
