If you want your burger to be made out of some heart healthy soy protein and the meat of cows that ate “natural” then you should be looking for the So Lean brand. Back in July parent company Natural Harmony Foods announced that they had inked a deal with one of the largest retail grocery chains that would facilitate national distribution of it’s Flame Broiled Beef Patties which were then only available in the southeast.
Computer Modeling to Minimize Emissions
Researchers at the University of Manitoba are confident sophisticated computer modeling will help ensure the emissions from biomass fuelled heating systems meet acceptable environmental standards.

Record Number of Visitors To AgWired
I’ve had 3 meetings in 3 different cities today but that doesn’t mean you don’t get a post from me. It may be the only one you get from me today though since it’s late, we’re going into a holiday weekend and I’m just plain whupped.
Here’s the big news though.
- In August AgWired had 10,368 unique visitors.
Yep. We broke the 10K mark and that’s a milestone. Our highest month before that was June with less than 7,000. So we must be doing something right.
Final Thoughts!
