Post Update: I recorded this AgWired Live TV stream of today’s press conference and updated this post so you can watch the recording. Keep in mind that I just started this yesterday and I was only using my Mac with the built in camera and microphone recording what you heard in the room.

The Renewable Fuels Association, along with National Corn Growers and National Farmers Union will be holding a press conference today at 1pm eastern time. It will be at the National Press Club. How convenient is that, since I’m here and we’ll be finished with the NAFB Washington Watch program by then. So my plan is to stream it live here. The press conference features:

The Honorable John Block, former Secretary of Agriculture
Tom Buis, President, National Farmers Union (NFU)
Bob Dinneen, President of the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA)
Rick Tolman, CEO, National Corn Growers Association (NCGA

The topic will be: “Farmers and Ethanol Industry to Present the Facts On Food Price Increases.” This topic just won’t go away and it’s at least in part due to the immense amount of misinformation being spread in the media, most notably this week, the Washington Post with their irresponsible series called, Global Food Crisis.

I’m hoping to be able to stream the press conference live this afternoon and you’ll be able to watch it here with the following player. Basically, starting at 1pm or within a few moments of that, you should be able to click on the player and see the live stream. A lot depends on the internet connection I’ll have there. In any case, I’ll also be recording it to post on Domestic Fuel as well.

Post Update: Here is a recording of the live stream from today in two segments:
