Andy Vance Is ‘Honored and Humbled’ — And Deserving
Andy Vance of SOB Alliance member Andy’s Angle “was recognized as the National Association of Farm Broadcasting’s Horizon Award Winner at this year’s convention.”
Andy received his award this past Friday at the 62nd Annual National Association of Farm Broadcasting Convention in Kansas City at the NAFB’s Awards Luncheon. The award is noted at Program Page 13 - since Andy’s name isn’t listed there, I’m guessing it was a surprise.
Not bad for a year’s work, almost to the day. On November 14 of last year, Andy and his partner Lindsay Hill launched the Buckeye Ag Radio Network (BARN), “the first new farm radio network in Ohio in over 30 years, ….. taking a risk by focusing on a business that most marketers assume is mature and fading.”
What a great example of from the ground up (excuse the pun) entrepreneurship.
Heartiest congrats, Andy, Lindsay, et al, and may it be only the beginning.
I’m really blushing now! I’ve read this blog since I first joined the Alliance. Economics is one of my favorite subjects, and to find a fellow supply-sider has been a real pleasure. Keep beating the drum for good economic news, and keep holding the big spenders’ feet to the fire. Thank you for your very kind comments, and more importantly, for reading our blogs, too!

#1, Backatcha. I didn’t appreciate the scope of what you’re doing until you won the award.
