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:
BASF Podcasting, Almost
I’ve been waiting a while to write about this since I was told I’d be receiving one but so far, nada. It, being an iPod Nano from BASF (their agency, Quarry Integrated Communications). When I first heard that BASF would be podcasting I got excited. Then I realized it was only for the press, not their customers. Hmmm.
Calling For Agriblogging Farm Podcasters
I’m looking for agribloggers. Interested?
Video Podcasts From Monsanto
Someone on Monsanto is getting on the Cluetrain. I reported about Monsanto’s “Conversations . . . ” a while ago. Now they’re podcasting them.
Golf Irrigation By John Deere
It’s tough getting your groove back after a 2 week road trip but I’m working on it. I just saw an announcement for John Deere Golf Irrigation. They’ve entered into an exclusive strategic alliance with Signature Control Systems, Inc.to jointly research, create and distribute water management products and solutions for the golf market. Which means that:
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.
MooBella Fresh Ice Cream Vending Machines
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.
Snowfall Futures
I thought the Chicago Mercantile Exchange had some strange tools before but this takes the cake. Snowfall futures and options, starting with 2 cities, New York and Boston. How many people will buy these I wonder?
On The Road Again
It’s time to get back on the road again. I was going to have a little clip of Willie’s song here but it didn’t work out. I bought it on iTunes, then found out that I can’t even open the stupid file except with iTunes. I don’t like that.
Willie & Annie Nelson Support Farmers
It took most of the day to get a personal interview with Willie but I got ‘er done. Ask NBB Board member Greg Anderson how difficult it was. Let’s just say they weren’t letting the media do one-on-one’s but where there’s a will there’s an agriblogger.
