The give us details about the Congress and the location it will be held as well as who can register and attend the Congress.
Daniel and his organization will certainly have a variety of interesting places to see and of course, talk to ag journalists from around the world. If you haven’t attended an IFAJ Congress I can’t recommend it enough.
So, before I close I include an interview with Performance Nutrition. The company had us distribute a news release for them and we worked with them on an interview to add a voice to their message. We’re getting more requests for this. Their interview is included and you can find the full release on AgNewsWire.com.
It’s easy to include an interview with your release on AgNewsWire by sending us an interview audio file or have us conduct the interview for a small fee. And if you have question just contact me at chuck@zimmcomm.biz.
