It’s not too soon to think about celebrating National Agriculture Day which will be held on March 20, 2006. To show your support you can order Ag Day Lapel Pins. There’s a lot of other materials available too like the Ag Day Planning Guide on the same order form.
Michael Peterson Down On The Farm At Trade Talk
Earlier this week we alerted you to the new promotion that New Holland’s doing with the new Michael Peterson album. Here’s Cindy and me with Michael earlier today after I got to interview him. That’s one of those interviews that I hope to have for you soon.
AGCO Crew At Trade Talk
Here’s an early picture of the AGCO crew at Trade Talk. They look fresh and ready to go. I wonder what an “after” picture would look like?
NAFB President Talking

Trade Talking At NAFB
The NAFB convention is underway here in Kansas City and one of the first main activities is Trade Talk.

Southwest Airlines started Ding earlier this year as a way to interact very closely with their customers. Jill Howard-Allen had quite a few questions after her presentation. I think that people found her presentation to be very different than what they expected.
