Kubota cut the ribbon in Jefferson, GA on big new facility. Looks like business is good.
Michael Will Be At Classic
The 2006 Commodity Classic is getting closer. That’s one of the reasons I’ve been a little behind on posting today. Preparations. That and having our internet access upgraded somewhat which caused us to be “without” for a while this afternoon. But no time like the present time to post some news.
Wonder If We’ll See A Mushroom Blog
The Mushroom Council has hired a blogger and his company which now has a new blogger, to be their new agency. Kudos for them.
New Directors For National Cotton Council
A new group of leaders is at the helm of the National Cotton Council. The announcement was made today at their annual meeting.
Arnold Tours World Ag Expo
One of the place I couldn’t be this week is World Ag Expo, Tulare, CA. However, the Governator was. The show newsletter says he toured yesterday and made comments, focusing on water issues for one thing.
Deere At Machinery Show
Thanks to Andy Vance at Buckeye Ag Radio Network for this post. He’s at the 2006 National Farm Machinery Show.
Beltwide Presentations Available Via Confex
This is pretty interesting. Now that the 2006 Beltwide Cotton Conference is over, speakers and attendees can still have access to the presentations. The only way you can gain access to the recorded ones is with your registration number though. However, there’s lots of other information available. This is done using The Conference Exchange. The 2006 Confex Podium sponsors are Monsanto and Stoneville.
Clean Your Corn At New Dow Site
Dow AgroSciences has a new website. The creative element is a series of road signs that guide you through the information and pages. There’s even video. I guess this is just another sign that the agribusiness companies are investing in the online content tools that require broadband access to function properly. They must believe their customers have it or soon will.
Denim Is Made Out of Cotton & Protects It
You’ve gotta love an insecticide for cotton called Denim. Syngenta received registration for use of the product on cotton in California today. I like my blue jeans and I don’t need any pesky critters chewing them up, or the cotton plants they get made out of.
RFA Blogging The Ethanol Conference
I think what we’re doing is starting to catch on. The Renewable Fuels Association announced that they’ll be blogging the National Ethanol Conference. Great idea. The conference comes right after last week’s National Biodiesel Conference in San Diego which was blogged by yours truly for NBB.
