Ethanol Shines in the Night
This is why I like to have a camera with me at all times. You just never know when you’re going to see something you’d like to share. Ethanol plants are cool in a lot of ways. They’re producing a domestic fuel solution to our energy problems and that lessens our dependency on foreign oil for example. But they can …

AgriTalk at World Dairy Expo

However, he was able to pull off another good show with guests like Joe Bavido, Dairy Management, Inc. So, there you go. AgriTalk, …
