The National Association of Farm Broadcasting is in Kansas City this week for its annual convention. One highlight will be Thursday’s induction of Gale Cunningham and Janet Adkison into the NAFB Hall of Fame. Cunningham is a veteran Illinois farm broadcaster who recently began a new endeavor as the ag director for the Central Illinois Multimedia Group. Adkison is now the director of public affairs and advocacy for the Missouri Farm Bureau. Her farm broadcasting career highlights include time at RFD-TV and KMZU radio. Established in 1986, the NAFB Hall of Fame has recognized 81 farm broadcasters. That list includes RRFN’s Mike Hergert in 2015 and Don Wick in 2018. The RRFN team will broadcast from the NAFB Convention later this week.
