The Missouri Governor’s Conference on Agriculture got kicked off this evening and I’m not there. But I will be for lunch tomorrow. Right now I’m missing the Taste of AgriMissouri. If you’ve never been then I can tell you you’re missing a great party and some good food.

I think this is the first time the conference has been held in St. Louis. If not, I’m sure someone will correct me. The theme had to be, “Agriculture, Gateway to the Future.” I’ll bet it took a few bottles of Missouri Norton wine to come up with that one.

We’ll see what our Governor Matt Blunt has to say and I’ll share that with you afterward assuming I have some good AT&T signal in the hotel. The Gateway NAMA chapter and the St. Louis Agribusiness Club are also holding their January meeting in conjunction with the lunch tomorrow. Convenient don’t you think?
