We may have just concluded one IFAJ Congress but it’s time to look forward to next year. The man in charge is former EU Commissioner of Agriculture Dr. Franz Fischler. He’s chairing IFAJ 2008 and I met him in Japan.

I found Dr. Fischler to be very easy to speak with. He’s got me convinced that Cindy and I should go to Austria and Slovenia next year. I think he’ll convince you too. He says that we’ll get to see how a former communist country has changed and is working to keep the peace and their independence. It sounds like we’ll get some very contrasting looks at agriculture too since we’ll start out in one country and wind up in another.

The program concludes this week with music from the Podsafe Music Network. This week’s song is “Alpaca Cheese” by a Derek K. Miller. Cindy thought it should be polka but I heard enough in the Coliseum last week.
