Moons Over Missouri
It has been a long day of travel back from Tampa, FL and the Commodity Classic so this is all you get today. This is from the drive home from Kansas City airport on I-70 and taken with my Nikon using the roof of the car as a support. Just to get something to compare it to I also took …
Don’t Forget the Podcast & Photo Album
I’m about done for the day here at Commodity Classic. The trade show’s over. This evening is the final entertainment function with country music star Collin Raye.

The BASF Wrapup
I know I’ve covered a lot of BASF activities here at Commodity Classic but they are very involved and hey, they’re one of my sponsors.

Random Street Photo
This is just a completely random street photo I thought I’d share. Since Cindy and I got a hotel about 5 blocks away instead of one of the “close” hotels we’ve been doing a lot of walking back and forth. It would be nice if the media could get in the hotels that attach to the convention center since we’ve …

The Wyant Perspective
Kind of sounds like a new Robert Ludlum novel doesn’t it? It’s actually a Commodity Classic Learning Center session on “Perspectives on the 2007 Farm Bill” that was sponsored by John Deere. Sara Wyant, Agri-Pulse Communications, was the moderator of a panel on this subject that featured Mark Halverson, Democratic Staff Director and Chief Counsel for the Senate Committee on …
