My old buddy Blair Fannin, the farm podcaster from Texas is blogging away this week at the Texas Beef Cattle Short Course.
ABIC Program
I guess the Agricultural Biotechnology International Conference is over now. I’m betting I’ll still have some more information for you.
New Utility Tractors From Massey Ferguson
There’s some new tractors out in the Massey Ferguson line. It’s their 500 Series of utility tractors like this 596 model. They also received four AE50 awards from the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers. You can find out more on these stories on AgNewsWire.AgWired.com.
Maybe You Should Podcast Before Blogging
Here’s another story on podcasting that’s especially good if you’re not convinced that this blogging thing is a good idea. Chief Marketer has a story they took away from a recent Ad:Tech Chicago session that suggests you might just be better off going directly to podcasting.
Wheat That Beats Drought
I have to thank Wendy Lewis with FS Communications for helping me “cover” the Agricultural Biotechnology International Conference in Australia. She’s getting me story ideas and pictures!
Biotech Exposes Cod Sex Life
I think this looks like a tasty morsel. Cod is an excellent fish. These biotech researchers in Australia though seem to have gotten off the track a little bit don’t you think? I’ve tried to keep this a very clean site and stay away from the “s” word but this story is too good to pass up.
Socialize With Other Horse Lovers
A social network for horse lovers? That’s right. I got an email from Helene Young seeking some input on what’s she’s doing with this new website.
Ag Biotechnology In Australia
There’s a big biotechnology conference going on in Australia this week. I was invited to attend but have to be in Kansas City and then on to Norway. Darn the luck, eh?
Award For Grower’s Boyd
I love this picture. Vicky’s posed on a fence rail, the background is out of focus but she’s not. I know, it’s hard to see on a 150 pixel wide web resolution jpeg but it’s “creative.” I like that.
So Vicky has a nice picture and a nice award.
Dave’s Picture
I was going to add this picture of Dave Russell to the post I did on him going to work for Brownfield but, well, time slipped by and just in case you aren’t searching the archives and watching your feeds closely . . .
Here’s Dave Russell and here’s the story.
