I thought that Osborn & Barr had some pretty nice digs in Clayton, MO but from the sound of it they’re going to get even nicer. Of course there is that downtown traffic to contend with but then it wasn’t great out in the Clayton area either at times. Last week they announced that the agency will be re-locating its …

Rock and Roll Buffalo
You know when I saw a video clip for the Rock and Roll Buffalo I absolutely wasn’t thinking MachineryLink. That’s because I didn’t remember taking some pics of the ML wrapped JD combine at Commodity Classic. But I did and it’s on the Smarter Harvest Tour. Well it looks like MachineryLink has done good in the raise funds department. MachineryLink, …
Light Posting This Weekend
I’ll be out of touch for the next several days going on my annual retreat. Just thought I’d let you know. Posting will be pretty light. I think everyone needs a couple of days to get away from email, texts, etc. Yeah, right. But that’s what I’m going to be doing. I’ll be back on Sunday afternoon. Until then . …
NAFB Will Be Watching Washington
The National Association of Farm Broadcasting is holding its annual Washington Watch program at the end of April and for the first time in a few years I’ll be attending. On this week’s program we’ll learn about it from program chair Lindsay Hill, BARN. I know I’m a little late this week but maybe I can get back on my …
MO Hail
It might have been a sunny spring day yesterday but today is a different story. Here’s the scene on my deck a few minutes ago. As the hail stopped the sun poked out for about 10 seconds too. Yep, a typical midwest weather pattern for the spring. I’m sure someone out there will get the notion that this is unusual …
Tractor Cruises to Benefit Camp Quality
When it comes to raising money for a good cause, Missouri’s own Tom Brand, KFEQ, is leading the way. Tom started the Show Me Tractor Cruise to raise funds for Camp Quaility, Northwest Missouri. He’s been doing it since 2003. This year’s event will be held June 28th. The first Show-Me Tractor Cruise began in 2003. We decided to make …
Recruit Members, Help Kids, Get License Tag
The Missouri Cattlemen’s Association has a neat incentive program going on. I think membership has been coming on strong lately and now members can get a little reward for recruiting new one. Membership is the backbone of a strong Missouri Cattlemen’s Association. During the month of April recruit a minimum of 3 new members and MCA will pay for your …
Sunny Spring Day
It was a beautiful day here in central Missouri so I went out for a walk on the Katy Trail. Pretty soon these fields will be seeing some action but not until we get some more midwest rain from the looks of the forecast. We’ve got some standing water in a lot of fields still from the last rains but …
Running of the Pigs
In case you didn’t see the Smokey Bones “Running of the Pigs” video I thought I’d share. This is a great April Fool’s gimmick. Here’s some of the press release that was actually used by some in the media. The streets of Orlando were filled today with “oinks” and squeals and screams of terror when more than 100 pigs rampaged …
