The masters of the media room are Joe Schuele and Grace Webb. Once again they’re setting up for the media. This time at the Cattle Industry Summer Conference.

Things don’t really get cranked up until tomorrow but us bloggers are on the scene early (actually I’m the only one here at the moment). I interviewed Joe and Grace as they were working. You can tell that they’ve already lost too much sleep and we’ve got a long way to go. However, I did get some serious comments out of them during the interview.

Joe says that some of the issues being discussed here this week include the farm bill and energy bill since both will have an impact on the pocket books of cattlemen of which he expects about 1,000 to be here during the conference. Grace says they’re expecting about 35 to 40 media representatives.

Here’s my interview with the media room masters: cisc-07-media-room.mp3
