Thanks to Arnold Huelsmann, The Arnold Company, Al Crawshaw, Puritan Magnetics got his picture taken with me and I just have to post it. Arnold, you should be in public relations.

Tale of Two Expos Part Two
Here’s Don Dalton, President of the U. S. Poultry & Egg Association, along with Lakeisha Futch, who’s been very helpful here in the media room.

There’s lots of equipment on display here at the International Poultry & Feed Expos. Take this palletizing machine by Columbia Okura.

That’s basically what Flame Engineering’s Red Dragon Poultry House Sanitizer does using propane. It’s pulled through the house by tractor and was developed with the assistance of the Propane Research & Education Council. In fact, the company is partnering …
New Holland Poultry House Special
It has been a long day in Atlanta. Things started out with a 2 hour backup on the highway getting in to the Georgia World Congress Center for the Expos. But I finally made it. Then I had a wonderful lunch with a local public relations firm that wants to learn more about new media and perhaps collaborate on some …
