The Canadian Animal Industry Corn Users wants the Canadian government to provide the necessary support to ensure the survival of agriculture until [someone] finds the fix. The Canadian International Trade Tribunal ended the collection of provisional countervail and antidumping duties on imported U.S. grain corn after determining the imports do not threaten the Canadian corn industry.
Biotech Grows In South Africa
Thanks to the Council for Biotechnology Information I was able to meet two very interesting men from South Africa at the BIO 2006 Convention. Pictured with me in the middle are Advocate Mdutshane (L), a corn grower and tribal leader and Dr. Khosi Rebe (R), who is the assistant director of the Eastern Cape Department of Agriculture. Both of these guys are supporters of biotechnology.
Event Blogging and NAMA on the ZimmCast
Event blogging is the new media way to have your event covered. In this week’s ZimmCast you can find out about some of the events on my blogging schedule. If your event isn’t on the list call me to make it so.
We’re Not Google News Worthy
We have a tremendous amount of original news content here on AgWired and our other news sites. So I figured that although Google search crawls us a lot, maybe Google news would too. No such luck.

The event takes place May 7 – 10 in Phoenix, AZ. My coverage is being sponsored by the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Institute and Southern California Gas Company.
NAMA Conference Photo Album
Wow. What a week this has been. The NAMA Conference is over and after about 9 hours of sleep last night I think I will recover. I had a meeting after the conference in KC with 2 other convention attendees before leaving. Let’s just say it’s amazing that we could still think creatively but we did.
FCC Comment Period on RFD-TV
According to a release from Farm Journal Media, the FCC has issued a Public Notice on Farm Journal Media’s November 29, 2005, Petition for Declaratory Ruling with respect to the non-commercial set-aside eligibility of RFD-TV. I guess this means the FCC is looking for your thoughts on the matter. I really don’t have much other information on the background for this or the potential impact on RFD-TV. If you do, please feel free to leave a comment.
