Have you heard of the Agriculture Advertising Data Source? Me either. Until now. It’s the NAMA ADS program. Here’s what it’s all about:
Winecast Is Seeking Sponsors
One of my favorite podcasts is Winecast, hosted by Tim Elliott. Each week I learn about a new variety from his perspective. He seems to know what he’s talking about.
Bodisen Launches Mancozeb Facility
It seems like we’re seeing more and more news from China these days.

New AGCO Website
AGCO has a new website. One thing I like about it is the simplicity and that pages load quickly. That’s a definite plus for anyone and most importantly their customers. Here’s how they describe some of the elements of the new site:

Are You On The Cluetrain?
It’s the end of a long two weeks of on the road agriblogging. Thanks for hanging around for all the fun from the Cattle Industry Convention and the National Biodiesel Conference. Whether you like my coverage of these events or not I think you have to admire the fact that the Cattlemen’s Beef Board and the National Biodiesel Board have moved way ahead of the pack when it comes to openly and personally communicating with the public and the people who are paying the bills. They just plain “get it.” I’m not even sure if they’re aware of the Cluetrain or not but they’re on it.

My favorite dessert is ice cream. I want to see these next to every soda machine in the country! MooBella machines. Freshly made ice cream when and where I want it. Even mixed with the toppings I want like cookies’n’cream and walnuts.
