Over 2,000 Posts
I just noticed that I’ve posted over 2,000 times on AgWired. It’s a milestone! That’s a lot of pictures, interviews, links, notices and other types of information on the business of agrimarketing.
The very first version of AgWired was installed in August of 2004 but I didn’t get in the blogging groove until March of 2005. I think my daily posting average works out to around 4 posts a day, 7 days a week.
