Special Group Australia has won the highly coveted ANZ creative account following a competitive pitch including CHE Proximity, Hero and incumbent TBWA\Melbourne.
The win for Special Group, CB’s reigning Australian Agency of the Year, comes 10 years after TBWA (then Whybin\TBWA) took the business from M&C Saatchi, which had held the account for 14 years.
Over the last 25 years, ANZ and their agencies have consistently produced major award-winning campaigns, including ‘GAYTMS’, which was included in Campaign Brief’s Australian Campaigns of the Decade. The campaign won the 2014 Cannes Lions Outdoor Grand Prix and was also named the ‘Best Direct campaign in the World for 2014’ by the Big Won and #1 ‘Best of Print/Outdoor/Design for 2014’ by Creativity-online.com. It went on to win many other international awards that year and the next.
Now is the Time to Consider the Potential of Non-GMO Soybeans in Northern Pennsylvania.
Anna Busch, Union County agronomy educator, and Dave Hartman, Lycoming County livestock educator, are looking at the yield and potential market premium for non-GMO soybeans in north-central Pennsylvania.
In 2020 they grew and evaluated sulfonylurea-tolerant soybeans. STS is a non-GMO genetic trait. STS soybeans can be safely sprayed with higher rates of sulfonylurea herbicides such as Synchrony.
Soybean producers in northern Pennsylvania often struggle to find marketing opportunities because there arenât many local grain buyers. STS varieties allow producers to grow soybeans for a niche market and price premium while providing additional herbicide options for the control of difficult weeds, such as burcucumber.
Solar energy has its backers who believe that clean and low-cost energy should prevail over critics who say itâs not really that cheap, and that its appearance is a visually jarring presence in the rural landscape.
Three solar experts who think about these issues shared their thoughts in an hourlong webinar on Monday as part of the virtual Pennsylvania Farm Show.
The panelists were Amanda Eyer of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Tom Murphy of Penn Stateâs Marcellus Center for Outreach and Research, and Dave Hartman of Penn State Extension.
Their focus was on the deployment of utility-scale solar, rather than the kind of solar panels that can keep electric fences charged and, with rooftop installations, power a house or barn.
