Corn smut is not pretty. But that’s what the National Corn Growers Association is looking for. Actually they’re looking for a different kind of corn smut: Pick up a newspaper, turn on the evening news, listen to the radio. Corn growers are polluting the water, eroding the soil, causing global hunger. We’d cry if it weren’t so darn outrageous. Instead, …

The Moose Says Party
It’s hard to believe we’re about to enter the holiday season. However, as the party moose will attest, “It’s here.” Of course the party moose means a BCS Communications party. I’m sure there will be more. Make sure your friends in agricultural marketing know about your holiday party by letting us know here at AgWired.
Heading Home With a Bang
It’s time for the agriblogger to hit the road home. The World Championship Appaloosa Show has been great fun. Last night’s program included a short show by Diana Olson who is President of the Arizona Cowboy Mounted Shooters Association. She has a beautiful horse and just in case anyone was nodding off after a long day she woke them up. …
I Wish I Were A Lipizzaner
I grew up in Sarasota, FL near where the famous Lipizzaner Stallions had a facility so I got to see this move quite a few times.

Horse Photograhper Extraordinaire
Sometimes the photographer gets his picture taken. I hope Larry Williams is happy with this one of him and his wife Karen. They’re the official show photographers of the Appaloosa World Show and boy do they have a job to do. You can only imagine how many pictures they have to take and take care of. They do thousands at …
Learn About Reining
I know a lot of you are like me, “not very horsey.” But you work at a show like the World Championship Appaloosa Show and you can get pretty horsey real fast. How many of you know what a reining competition is? Quick show of hands. That’s what I thought. So watch this video clip and then you’ll have an …
Steve’s Angels
Hey, if Charlie can have some then I guess Steve Taylor can too. Actually these were some of Steve’s helpers at last night’s World Championship Appaloosa Sale. They were responsible for getting the paperwork to the winning buyers in the auction. And we wondered why Steve left Missouri for Idaho. 2007 World Championship Appaloosa Show Photo Album
Shining Up a Storm
If you need your boots shined at the World Show then “Storming” Norman Miller is your man. I got mine done earlier today and had a little chat with the shine king. He says he’s been doing this for the ApHC for at least 15 years and about 53 years all together locally. I asked him how many shines he’s …
