Max Armstrong wishes Happy Birthday to Orion Samuelson who turns 89 today. Max notes Samuelson’s long-time dedication to the farmer, which he pioneered. Max notes that the young farmers working in social media to share the story of agriculture are doing a great job. Yet years before that, Samuelson was the original “agvocate” sharing the story of agriculture from major radio and television stations from Chicago.

Max Armstrong's Farm Progress America is a daily look at key issues in agriculture. It is produced and presented by Max Armstrong, veteran farm broadcaster and host of This Week in Agribusiness.
