As you know, Cindy and I spent some quality time with our good friends at New Holland, along with the farmers who are the heroes of the Seeds of Life campaign. We’re pictured in front of the New Holland pavilion at Expo Milano 2015.
It was a great opportunity to see the similar challenges farmers face around the world. Nearly all of them said that, just like here in the United States, they are unappreciated and even vilified by the non-farming public in their homelands.
The event included a chance to interact with the farmers and journalists from their respective countries, visit the expo, and enjoy some great Italian wining and dining. One of the more memorable events during the visit included a cocktail contest. We had four teams each create a cocktail in competition with judging. Each team had to create a name for their cocktail and describe it with a story in front of the judges. Below is me describing our team’s entry. If it doesn’t make much sense, don’t worry. It didn’t make a lot of sense to us either.
