I don’t know what the final, final totals are but before it ended the 2013 Commodity Classic broke records that include 6,180 attendees, 3,024 of which are growers and 1,024 first time attendees. The high number of first time attendees was especially pleasing to Ken Colombini, Communications Director for the National Corn Growers Association. I sat down with him during Classic for a chat.

Ken says that these growers are coming here to learn how they can improve things back on the farm and find lots to talk about with each other. It is a great place to network with others in the business! Speaking of networking, the media room is a great place for the ag media to network with each other while they’re also utilizing the facilities to post their stories back to whatever media channels they are responsible for. Thanks to Dupont Crop Protection for being the sponsor of the Commodity Classic media room this year!
