Here’s another picture from the Missouri Cattlemen’s Association Convention that’s concluding today. It’s the Missouri Wall of Brands.
Missouri Cattlemen Meeting In Columbia
The Missouri Cattlemen’s Association is having its annual convention in Columbia, MO today. I showed up to enjoy some fine Missouri beef for lunch. At least I hope we have some for lunch.
New Finance Man For D&PL
There’s a new Vice President of Finance, Treasurer and Assistant Secretary at D&PL. That’s a lot of titles for one person and Kenneth Avery is just getting started. He’s been on the team of the audit firm that has conducted D&PL audits though so he at least has a very high level of familiarity with the company. He’ll be responsible for accounting and finance and will report to Tom Jagodinski, D&PL President and CEO.
Venezuelan Monk Coffee The Best
I don’t know about you but on a day like today (frigid) a good cup of coffee is necessary. I’m only writing this because I know you’re looking for good holiday gifts and maybe you’re a coffee lover like me.
Quickfarm On Display In St. Louis
You know that we’ve teamed up with Quickfarm as a distribution point for AgNewsWire.AgWired.com. Now you can see who they are. I caught up to them earlier this week at the National Grain & Feed Association’s meeting and trade show in St. Louis.
Start The Day At The Farm Gate
The extension specialist quoted in the release for The Farm Gate is the father of Keith Good who publishes FarmPolicy and writes for AgWired weekly on Tuesdays. I guess he saw what the boy was doing and pronounced it good.
The Dude Has A New Dell
Here’s my first post from my new Dell Latitude D410. With all the travel that’s underway and not going to stop (except for the holiday weeks) I can not lug around an Inspiron 9100. That is a great machine but it’s a portable desktop. This is a dream machine for a road warrior.
Utah State Fair By Napoleon Dynamite
Steve Mays gets the credit here. He found out that the Utah State Fair is using Napoleon Dynamite in their marketing campaign and I think it’s hilarious. Of course I’ve already watched the movie about 4 times and think it’s funnier every time I see it. You can find Napoleon’s Sweet Ads here. Just look at the link in the left side list.
Podcast Is Word of the Year
According to Podcasting News: “The Oxford University Press, publishers of the New Oxford American Dictionary, has selected podcast as the Word of the Year for 2005.”
News Release Follow Up Quandry
I’m back from the east coast and catching up on email and news feeds. I just had to post some links about a topic I first saw on “Church of the Customer.” It’s about following up on press releases with reporters. A subject near and dear to my heart. In fact, this was a topic in most of my meetings this week.
