I’ve mentioned Paulsen Marketing before but don’t think I’ve made direct mention of a recently developed division of their company called Paulsen AgriBranding. Thanks to Bryan Bjerke for bringing it to my attention. While visiting their website I noticed their blog and the fact that they’re kind of farming in the office. Bryan will be attending next week’s Ag Media …
Photos From The Field
There’s a reason I like to have a camera with me at all times. Yesterday was one of those. The Bambi Twins here were playing along the edge of a soybean field. I had seen them last week when Cindy and I were out in a soybean field doing some work. This week they were not as skittish. I stopped …
Flying With Captain Evan Slack
For those of you who might have been wondering if I made it back from Denver the answer is yes. Captain Evan Slack is a great pilot. We ran around some clouds and “weather” on the way to Kansas City. One of the choices as we got near Salina, KS was north or south. We went south and it was …

Well, this ambassador for beef is now a blogger and I’m proud of her. Amanda is pictured here talking with Beef Board Executive Committee member Don Hullman at one of the meetings here at the …
New Driver For Team Ethanol
Since I’ve written about Jeff Simmons so many times here I’ve got to let you know that he’s been replaced as the driver of the Team Ethanol car. It’s a tough sport. The new driver is Ryan Hunter-Reay. I wish Jeff and his fiance, Stephanie all the best. So let’s all welcome new Team Ethanol car driver Ryan and hope …
Florida Farm To Fuel
While I’m here in Denver at the Cattle Industry Summer Conference Cindy’s attending the Florida Farm to Fuel Summit. That makes for a nice contrast and a long distance romance. We call each other on our cell phones while we’re in our hotel rooms. She’s doing some posting from there on Domestic Fuel, like this one: Government and industry leaders …

Taking good care of the land got rewarded last night for 6 farms around the country. The regional winners of the National Environmental Stewardship Award Program were announced. “The six regional winners have made extensive efforts to work closely with their local communities and government agencies, including the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), to implement conservation programs that benefit …
Merial Media Reception
Thanks once again to Merial for not only sponsoring the media room but also last night’s reception. It was in a very cool place, the Buckhorn Exchange. Their website says they have Colorado liquor license #1. According to Evan Slack it’s the oldest bar in Colorado. He should know right? Just kidding Evan. I’m hoping for good weather tomorrow for …
