After graduating from Larenstein Agricultural College Dick
Ziggers started his career as a technical adviser in the poultry sector for a
large Dutch feed manufacturer (then CTA, now ForFarmers). During that period he
also took care of the cooperative’s periodical that was sent out to its members.
The decision to become a full time journalist was made and he
found a job as an editor of the market section of Agrarisch Dagblad, the unique
Dutch agricultural daily.
Because his skills and experience were
mainly in the poultry sector he quickly obtained a job as a journalist for the
Dutch national weekly poultry magazine "Pluimveehouderij". Already taking care
of the international stories for the magazine the foundation was laid for an
international career and after nine years he switched to the International group
within Reed Business Information to start writing for World Poultry (www.worldpoultry.net
).
Soon
after the previous editor of Feed Tech left there was a opportunity to close the
circle again and return to the feed industry to become editor of Feed Tech and
www.AllAboutFeed.net.
