It’s not often that a caricature improves the looks of the subject but in this case . . .
Colonel Jon Phillips and Emery Kleven have teamed up to start the Price Discovery Report. It’s a new farm broadcast network in “Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, South Dakota and Minnesota.”
It’s time once again to look ahead to Ag Day 2007 and make your plans. To help you do so there’s a new planning guide available.
You know I love my vegetables. They go really good with my meat of the day. So, I was interested to see the VegNews Veggie Award winners announced. I expected maybe broccoli or a nice carrot but no it’s about a lot more than that.
I am back and had to post this picture. This is out the windshield and what you often see driving west on I-70. I don’t know how many times I’ve looked a an I-70 sunset and thought, “There’s no way any human could create something this beautiful.”
Here’s Gary Truitt in his new studio environment in Indianapolis. I stopped by Hoosier Ag Today to learn what Gary’s up to. He just kicked off a new “media” venture and is starting to use new media (farm podcasting).
I guess it’s just a beef kind of day here on AgWired. I did have a little drive to Indianapolis thrown into the mix. I’ll be here for meetings tomorrow morning before returning home.

These folks travel like an agriblogger and they’re invited to write to me on their travels. I’ll post them here.
As you may know we built a blog for the Missouri Beef Industry Council. I am happy to see the staff starting to use it to write about the activities they’re involved in.

And right before here Dawn Thurnau did a post about a Cook’s Chili Challenge they helped sponsor in Columbia, MO. Good stuff!
It almost seems like today’s cattle producer needs to be part IT professional. I’m guessing that the beef from these animals will be traceable no matter what happens down the road.

The College launched the program about one year ago and so far, over 200 drivers have completed the training.

If you’re using oil to heat with you might as well do it the enviro-friendly way with Bioheat. It’s also United States and farmer friendly.
