There’s a new national officer leadership team at the FFA. They were elected during the final sesson of the convention.
Beef Board Appointments
I love getting these announcements on a Friday afternoon (not).
Premium Beans
CHS, Inc. gets on AgWired twice today! They’ve got a lot going on.
AgWired’s Focus
During a conversation this week about AgWired I was told “You’re not trying to reach farmers.” That is correct and I was kind of glad to hear this person say it. That doesn’t mean I’m not reaching a growing number of farmers btw. I’ve had some farmer leaders tell me that they’re fascinated to learn how companies are marketing to them. However, since I made the decision and commitment to move forward with AgWired I’ve focused on the professional agrimarketer. I’m trying to provide a place to get ideas and information to help you in your job or your business. I’m not trying to compete with traditional online farm news outlets whose sole focus is informing the farmer. In fact, the people who are doing that are some of the ones I’m targeting here in the hopes they’ll find something valuable to take away from the time they spend on AgWired.
Put Some Ethanol in my Latte Please
Well now, it’s about time you’re able to get a nice espresso when you drop off your grain. Can you say, “After you get done checking the moisture content can you fix me a nice cappuccino?” It looks like this fits into the “Energy” component of the CHS business. I know I need some each morning to get going. I put a little caffeine in me and some ethanol in my vehicle. In fact, I think I need another cup right now.
A Rocking Theme
The FFA Convention is off to a rocking start if you judge it by the theme song. The theme is Blue Jackets – Gold Standards.
Former Intern Is Back
I guess Brant did a good job as an intern at The Meyocks Group. After graduating and getting some experience he’s now back.
World Congress on Communication for Development
The World Congress on Communication for Development got kicked off today in Rome. I guess we’re not the only ones to come up with the idea of a virtual press room. This is something I’d like to help companies and ag groups develop by the way.
It’s a Wired World
The march goes on to bring high speed internet access to rural America. We’re becoming a wired countryside folks.
Move That Tractor
Well I was heading out. Then I got an email with this announcement about a Case IH tractor making its acting debut on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition this coming Sunday.
