For openers.

Agri Marketing has always been fortunate to have active, engaged readers. We receive many great ideas for stories and articles from folks throughout our industry. We welcome this type of dialogue and wish for it to continue. This helps us stay current. An additional way for us to stay current, plus generate new ideas for articles and columns, is through our newly re-established Editorial Advisory Board. We think we've established a great cross-section of industry leaders to help us continue providing quality, relevant editorial for our readers and advertisers. Our new Advisory Board is listed in the masthead to the right.

60 Years Old. Happy anniversary to NAFB! In this issue, we continue our long-standing, good relationship with the National Association of Farm Broadcasters by publishing the annual NAFB Convention supplement. NAFB's annual conference is always one of the best industry events to attend. In this issue we again feature Trade Talk's exhibitor listing (the best trade show in the industry), as well as discussion of the continuing importance of broadcast in reaching and informing farmers and producers.

Since this is the last issue for 2004, the staff of Agri Marketing magazine wishes all of you an enjoyable and safe upcoming holiday season.
