Okay these guys got my attention. Yes they have specific agricultural experience but hey, they blog! They’re Cansler, Venosdel & Associates.
Top Ten New Products At World Ag Expo
Most trade shows or farm shows are meant to showcase “what’s new.” I’m on the committee for a trade show and this has come up often in our discussions. That’s why I think it’s interesting that World Ag Expo has for the second year picked the top new products that will be displayed at the show. How’d you like to be on the judging for that?

Fine Wine And Food In New York
Here’s a good reason to go to New York, althought you’ll have to wait until next summer. It’s the New York Wine & Culinary Center. Actually it would be a long way for a Missouri boy to go to get a good bottle of wine and learn how to fix a meal that will complement it.
