I think the fast pace of the last couple weeks finally caught up to me yesterday after the NAFB Trade Talk session. I came down with the cold a bunch of people seemed to have in Kansas City this week. But I’m back in the home office and raring to plow forward. After talking agricultural marketing and communications all week …
GrainLink To Sell USDA Grain Stocks
Government owned grain stocks now have a new marketing spot on the web. Beginning yesterday you can visit GrainLink.com, although it looks like you’ll have to wait to next week to conduct a transaction.
Trade Talking
There was a lot of this going on today at the NAFB Trade Talk session. I conducted 10 interviews and I think Cindy got in 9.
We’ll be using ours here and on our other sites like Domestic Fuel and World Dairy Diary in coming weeks.
Broadcasters at NAMA/NAFB Overlap Sessions
At the close of the NAMA Agribusiness Forum farm broadcasters were in attendance with an afternoon session that overlapped with the NAFB Convention.
Here’s a few of the broadcasters who showed up at the Hyatt Crown Center. It’s one of the first times I’ve seen a mult box at a NAMA session.
Hopefully we’ll see it again next year? If you attended these sessions how do you think it went? Was it a good idea to have a joint afternoon session?
The Future is Bright For Agribusiness
The NAMA Agribusiness Forum is over and it’s NAFB Convention time. I’m getting ready to head over to today’s Trade Talk session after this post. You can see and hear more from the Forum though over on the NAMA blog.
The last presentation at the Agribusiness Forum yesterday was given by Sano Shimoda, BioScience Securities.
Anita is Excellent
My former compadre from the Brownfield Network was presented a very deserving award today at the NAMA Agribusiness Forum.
Anita Vanderwert was recognized for her sales efforts with the NAMA Professional Development, Award of Excellence – Sales.
After many years of doing interviews for Anita’s client’s I got to finally interview her.
Condolences For Two Rivers Marketing
I was very sad to receive the following message from Greg Ehm at Two Rivers Marketing. I’m posting it here so that those of you who know him and the staff at the agency are aware of this tragedy and can offer your condolences as well.
It’s Legal Now
I wonder if any of this will be consumed in Kansas City this week. I’m sure if there’s someone attending the NAMA or NAFB meetings from The Meyocks Group it might happen.
