I’m going to be reminding you periodically over the next few weeks about The AgWired Survey. I know it just got started but results are already pouring in. For example, most of the categories of types of business you’re in have been checked. I also love and appreciate the comments. Here’s an example of one, “I am relatively new to …
Let’s Not Sit On the Sidelines
One of my goals in posting to AgWired.Com is to improve relations by helping us better understand each other.
The Corporate Blogging Book
I have several books in progress right now and just when I start feeling guilty about not getting them finished I console myself with the fact that I’m doing the things that these authors are writing about. Do I read or do I do? I don’t know. I’m sure I’ll get through them all eventually.
New CME Advertising Campaign
I think the Chicago Mercantile Exchange might get the award for sending out the most news releases in the last year. Maybe not since I don’t really keep track.

Moczygemba Moving Up At Farm Journal
From Texas to Pennsylvania. That’s a big move. That’s what Allen Moczygemba will be doing. (I’m glad this isn’t radio)

Depends on how good the hunting is those first few days!
Herb Plambeck Award Entries Due
I can’t believe another year has gone by so quickly and that we’re looking ahead to the NAFB fall meeting. But it’s true. So, here’s one thing you creative types need to think about if you want some recognition for your work.

AgWired Visitor Survey
I know you probably don’t like surveys any more than I do but they are helpful and I’ve held off on this for a long time. In order for us to better know you I’ve created a very simple 12 question survey which will take you mere moments to complete. It’s very simple and fully self-explanatory and I will be eternally grateful to everyone who completes it.
Farm Aid Entertainers
I’ve never been to a Farm Aid concert but not for lack of wanting to hear the music. They’ve announced who’s going to be playing on September 30 at Tweeter Center at the Waterfront, Camden, NJ.
