It’s time for some livestock industry forums in Ft. Collins, CO. I’m attending the first one which is the NCBA/NPPC GIPSA Rule Press Briefing. We’re in the Hilton for this session. I’ll be attending another one later this evening too. It looks like we’ve got people rolling in and the room is set up for a big crowd.

Media are just now checking in. Here’s Melissa Tessitore, executive producer, NCBA’s Cattlemen to Cattlemen, which airs on RFD-TV. She graduated from Colorado State University which is right across the street. Helping Melissa out as videographer is her “old” college professor, Greg Luft, who is still teaching at CSU.

I’ll be live tweeting tonight as much as I can while recording audio, doing interviews and taking photos. Tomorrow at the USDA/DOJ Workshop on the CSU campus I’ll be doing the same starting around 8am mountain.
