IFAJ Congress Kicks Off Wednesday
Cindy and I are on our way to Austria/Slovenia. This year’s IFAJ Congress is looking like it’s going to be a lot of fun. I just hope we get good internet access and have a little time to relax. Those were two issues we had trouble with last year. Here’s some of the activities on the agenda:
Reception with typical sparkling wine in the chamber of Agriculture (Styrian chamber of agriculture )
Reception dinner at the „Alte Universität Graz“ (Old University)
“Agricultural journalists: Responsible for politicians, farmers, consumers or advertisers?” Discussion between journalists and the public
Visit to the famous horse breeding farm in Lipica, presentation by the Spanish Riding School Lipica stud farm
Excursions
Tour I Production of sheep and goat milk and meat products, tasting
Tour II Production of carst prsut – air dried ham, tasting
Tour III Production of local wine Teran
I like the fact that the word “wine” is mentioned frequently in many of the activities. I think you’ll start seeing some content by midday tomorrow. The program really doesn’t start until Wednesday but we’re getting in early to relax for a day. That doesn’t mean no posting though. Let’s hope the planes are on time!
