Barbra Streisand, also known as Jodie Wehrspann, Farm Industry News, made a guest appearance at our opening reception party. Doesn’t she look gorgeous in her red and pearls? Since it is our 10th industry of the Ag Media Summit she had a special performance of “The Way We Were.” The reality is that none of us are just exactly the …
My Team
After a long morning on the links, this team was ready for some air conditioning. These were my teammates today in the golf tournament. Mike Wilson, Den Gardner and Lyle Orwig. I think we birdied this hole seeing as how it was sponsored by Charleston Orwig. We did get second place and were pretty happy with how things went. Three …

Quasimojo Entertains Again

The fortunate people moved over early. The unfortunate came late and had to walk through the rain that persisted through the evening. Cindy made …
AAEA Update

After today’s board meeting he told me that the organization is very healthy and that it’s been a pleasure for him to preside over continued growth in membership and sponsors. Topics discussed at the meeting include, new member benefits like professional development webinars, new …
Early Educational Sessions
Right now the first educational sessions are taking place at the AMS. I believe this one is “Create a More Profitable Web Presence” with Don Nicholas, Mequoda Group, doing the presentation. Glad to see they’re blogging. Both of the concurrent sessions seem to be well attended. Perhaps the rain has something to do with that? Surely not. The other session …
