Now isn’t this a good looking group? The Tessenderlo Kerley folks brought in the media to tour their plant. That’s a great idea. Bring the media in and do a show and tell. Best way to get everyone on the same page!
ScanControl In The Palm of your Hand
At first glance the news about ScanControl’s service and software enhancements is pretty difficult to digest. Pretty technical language for one thing and lots of it. That’s why I was very glad to see that they included a link to a flash demo. Pictures speak a thousand words or at least make something like this easier to understand!

Meet The Guild of Agricultural Journalists
Once you get involved with the International Federation of Agricultural Journalists (IFAJ) you get exposed to people in many other countries so as time permits I’ll try to draw your attention to interesting things from the international world of ag communications. I just saw a recent e-Alert from the Guild of Agricultural Journalists of Great Britain (GAJ).
Heinert Joins Bader Rutter
This is why I posted that picture of the new FFA Officers. Those are some very impressive young adults who will be found throughout the agribusiness industry as time goes. Take for example, Seth here who’s joined Bader Rutter
