Hello from Reno. Tomorrow I’ll start blogging the Cattle Industry Summer Conference so stay tuned. After checking in and unpacking I realized I didn’t bring my computer’s power supply.
Hard to believe and I was thinking, “Now what am I going to do?” Actually I used some additional words that are not fit for print here. A road warrior needs to have 2 power supplies for his notebook for this very reason.
If you’re involved in agricultural public relations are you involved in ARC? If not, why not? If not, then maybe you should learn more about the Agricultural Relations Council. You can do this by attending the ARC breakfast at the Ag Media Summit.
A “Country Swing” evening event with Joni Harms is just one of the activities on the agenda for the Cattle Industry Summer Conference that gets kicked off this weekend in Reno. I’m heading back to the city I just drove through for a few days of event blogging here on AgWired and on Beef Board Meeting.
I’ve not been too fond of vanity license tags, especially since they cost more and then everyone knows where you’ve been. However, this is different and something that I think is a neat way to raise money for a good cause. I’m sure there are other states and groups where this kind of thing is available.
Here’s a competition that I would love to be a judge for. It’s the 15th annual Indy International Wine Competition which will be held July 27-29 in the Blue Ribbon Pavilion at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.
AgWired is sponsoring the newest contest at the Deere Gear Store. If you’ve got a John Deer memory, now’s the time to make it known. You’ll have to go to their website to enter. Here’s some more details:
Premium Standard Farms, Inc. has some significant changes made to its management structure. They just announced that Robert Manly has resigned as President and Chief Operating Officer and that Chief Executive Officer, John Meyer, will assume the additional responsibilities of the President. There are no plans to name a new Chief Operating Officer. In addition:
Farm Journal Media just announced that Farm Journal has received a distinction that puts it into an elite publication group. BtoB Media Business, which is a magazine for business publishing executives, has selected Farm Journal as one the country’s top 25 business publications. It is the only agricultural magazine to be recognized in the list.
The Agricultural Media Summit is approaching real fast. It’s still not too late to register if you haven’t done so yet.
I know I’m supposed to be on vacation today but you are probably sitting on the edge of your seat wondering where Farm Aid will be this year. Wonder no more.
