Opening day weather for the Western Farm Show will be much better than set up day. A very unexpected winter storm developed and moved over Missouri today. My local radio station in Jefferson City, MO was still using a recorded forecast from the morning that said it would be up to 49 degrees and some showers moving in overnight. Wrong! When I heard that about noon today it was only 34 degrees and sleet/snowing! I called to let them (KWOS-AM) know they really should do live weather and not pre-recorded.

So the AgWired booth is set up in the main entrance way hall. We’re working with our iPhone App sponsor Raven Industries to give away an iPod Touch to one lucky person. If you come out to the show stop and enter and say hi. I’ll be conducting a presentation with Darin Grimm on Friday at 11am in Wagstaff Theater on becoming an “agvocate.” Then on Saturday I’ll do a how-to session on social media.

Of course there will be stories posted over the next several days from the show and lots of photos. Meanwhile, Cindy is enjoying much better temperatures in Ft. Myers, FL at the Agricultural Relations Council meeting. I’m sure we’ll be hearing all about what’s going on there soon.

For all you on Twitter, the show hashtag is #WFS11. See you there.
