Aug. 26, 2011 Source: Farm Journal Media news release Beginning September 3, Corn College TV expands its distribution and reach with a new local television broadcast affiliate network. Following the model of Farm Journal Media's other national programs, AgDay and U.S. Farm Report, Corn College TV will now be available to viewers on their local station, on RFD-TV and online. "Corn College TV is one of the most targeted television programs. It's all about growing more corn, plain and simple," says Brian Conrady, Vice President and General Manager of Farm Journal Television. "The Farm Journal Corn College event series has seen dramatic growth. And now, by expanding our TV distribution to include local stations, we're giving more growers greater access to this invaluable teaching tool." The 30-minute weekend program will launch on 11 stations reaching more than 14 percent of the nation's total corn acres. Some of the nation's top-ranked corn markets-Lincoln, Neb.; Sioux Falls, S.D.; Rochester, Minn.; and Quincy, Ill.-are included in the launch of the affiliate network. A production of Farm Journal Television, Corn College TV is hosted by Clinton Griffiths and features the expertise of Farm Journal Field Agronomists Ken Ferrie and Missy Bauer, along with Farm Journal Test Plot Director Margy Fischer. From in-field diagnostics to finding the right equipment for the job, the program is a weekly tutorial aimed at helping corn growers get the most out of their fields. In addition to this new broadcast affiliate network, Corn College TV will continue to air every Wednesday morning at 7:30 a.m. CST and again on Saturday mornings at 10 a.m. CST on RFD-TV. RFD-TV is a national network of more than 40 million homes available on DirecTV (#345), DISH (#231) and many cable systems. Corn College TV is also available online at Agweb.com.
