Major League Baseball may not be very happy about the new Got Milk tv ads but I say, “Get a life.” They’re funny and created by the California Milk Processor Board.
Beef Is What Ambassadors Are Made Of
Maybe I could enter as an “old” student and be an ambassador for beef! If you read AgWired you’ll probably get the impression that I think beef is good. But if you’re a real student you can compete for some cashola.
Hass Avocado Board Announcement
There’s some new people on the Hass Avocado Board thanks to Sec. Johannes. I thought you might want to know.
What’s In The Food You Eat? ARS Knows
Want to know what’s in the foods you eat? USDA’s Agricultural Research Service, Food Survey Research Group (say that 3 times real fast) just introduced a new online search tool today that let’s you find out all the food ingredient information you could ask for. It’s called “What’s In The Foods You Eat.” You can run it online or download the search tool to your computer.
Novartis Announces Vet Winners From AABP
It’s time to kick off a new week of stories here on AgWired. Let’s start with Novartis Animal Health, US. Why? Because they were the first in the old inbox and because I thought it was interesting that they sent releases out announcing the results of the competition they held at their booth at a recent trade show.
Kathy Cornett Talks About Dairy Directory Project
This week I interviewed Kathy Cornett, CEO of McCormick Company, about a unique project her agency recently completed. They have published the first ever Southwest Plains Dairy Directory. This printed directory is also available in an online, searchable database. I thought it was interesting that a full service advertising agency created a publication but it’s not the first time McCormick Company has done something like this. Remember AgriTalk?
New Listing Pages On AgWired
Since we’re constantly evolving around here I made a few changes that you might have noticed on AgWired. I’ve added some pages that are in the top left list of links. Several of these are categories of listings that I think you’ll be interested in. They include: Agencies, Companies/Ag Groups, Media and of course, Blogs & Podcasts. This is just a start. I will be adding to this as time permits. In the meantime, I’d like you to check them out and submit links you’d like me to include. Just email me the name and url.
The Birth of the Global Auction Blog
This thing apparently was “born from one farmer’s struggle to find farm auction listings on the Internet.” That farmer being Dwayne Leslie, Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, Canada. I’m posting this since Dwayne commented on my recent article about Sirius satellite radio. He subscribes to the ZimmCast and I’m sending him an invitation to be my guest on an upcoming program. This auction guide business looks like it has turned into serious business for Dwayne.
The Real IFAJ 2009 Planning Session
We really did work at preliminary planning for the IFAJ 2009 Congress and got a lot done this morning. Here we are, glad that we’re done! Not everyone could make it but in attendance were:
A Little Rock Helps The IFAJ Planning Process
Although this is another “phone” picture I had to post it because Spike Blake & Earthquake just plain rocked the place last night after our preliminary IFAJ 2009 Planning Dinner. If you’re looking for a band keep these guys in mind! There’s much better pics on their website too.
