People often refer to the NAFB convention as a family affair.
McCormick Tractor For a Year
At the NAFB Convention a fun highlight is the Foundation auction. One of the items they auction off is the use of a McCormick tractor for a year. Here’s Southeast AgNet’s Gary Cooper trying it out beforehand to see if it’s what he needs back home.
New MBIC Board Member
Three newly elected board members for the Missouri Beef Industry Council recently attended their first board meeting. This week we hear from Jim Freeman, region 3 in Southeast Missouri, who is from Salem.
Announcing Bootheel Agri-Energy
This week on Corn Talk, Missouri Corn Merchandising Council chairman Mike Geske (guess-key) of New Madrid county in the Bootheel talks about the announcement of Bootheel Agri-Energy, a new ethanol plant project proposed in southeast Missouri.
The Boot Wearers
I really didn’t think anyone would identify the boots that I posted yesterday so here’s the “rest of the story.” These are the sexy black boot wearers who were at the AdFarm open house.
National Agriculture Day 2006
It’s not too soon to think about celebrating National Agriculture Day which will be held on March 20, 2006. To show your support you can order Ag Day Lapel Pins. There’s a lot of other materials available too like the Ag Day Planning Guide on the same order form.
Michael Peterson Down On The Farm At Trade Talk
Earlier this week we alerted you to the new promotion that New Holland’s doing with the new Michael Peterson album. Here’s Cindy and me with Michael earlier today after I got to interview him. That’s one of those interviews that I hope to have for you soon.
AGCO Crew At Trade Talk
Here’s an early picture of the AGCO crew at Trade Talk. They look fresh and ready to go. I wonder what an “after” picture would look like?
NAFB President Talking
This is pretty much the pose you see at a Trade Talk booth. Here’s NAFB president, Emery Kleven, conducting an interview.
Trade Talking At NAFB
The NAFB convention is underway here in Kansas City and one of the first main activities is Trade Talk. This is a unique trade show where companies and organizations exhibit with representatives who are available to be interviewed by the attending broadcasters who hopefully will use the interviews in their broadcasts, or in our case, podcasts.
