A podcasting blogger can’t pass up the chance to point out how much iPods are playing a role in everyday life.
The ABEF Silent Auction featured a couple of iPods here at the NAMA Conference. There were regular drawings for iPods.
We sponsored a drawing for a video iPod as a membership incentive for anyone who joined recently. I think NAMA has a couple hundred new members since that promotion started and the winner of the giveaway is Kristil Smit who was not present.
In today’s breakout sessions the panelists were asked how they would finish a sentence that goes something like, “I wish . . .” The answer I heard was, “I wish you’d take those ear buds out of your ears and listen to me.”

We had a second winner today at our NAMA booth. That’s two tractors and counting.
NAMA’s opening general session speaker today was James Canton, 
NAMA’s Agribusiness Leader of the Year is George Thornton, 
The awards show was a good one last night. Now I’ve got the results and can at least bring you the winners of the Best of NAMA, Best of Show awards:

Not to confuse you or anything but it was a Cindy afternoon.
The Best of NAMA Awards is over. It was a very well done event with a great reception afterwards.
