So this is how the producer gets their payoff for using these news hybrids. “Up to” a 40 cent per bushel premium is a nice extra!
G10 Countries Express Trade Concerns
As we get closer to the Hong Kong Ministerial of the WTO the rhetoric is heating up. Ag groups here in the United States have sure been sending out the “position” releases. I have to call them that since I’m not sure I would use the word news to describe the content of a lot of the ones I see. They are informative though for reporters, most of which probably don’t “use” them other than for background information.
NAMA Agribusiness Forum Blog
Announcing NAMA Connect. It’s the National Agri-Marketing Association blog. You may remember they blogged the Boot Camp this summer. Well it’s time to move on down the blogging super highway.
Photo Album From World Dairy Expo

Touring Tessenderlo Kerley In Kansas
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!

It’s nice that they’ve made this announcement but it leaves you with very little information and in my quick search I couldn’t find much either.
Newly Designed Website For O & B
Their latest e-newsletter says they have a newly designed website so you know we have to check that out. One of the features that I think is great is video with people who work there telling us about why they believe in their company, Osborn & Barr Communications.
Russell Graves, Photographer
I’ve been meaning to write about Russell Graves for a while. Finding out that he’s blogging forced me to go ahead. I’ve been receiving his newsletter and am very impressed with his photography and writing. Now you can find him at RussellGraves.com Updates. I’m not posting any pictures because I think you need to go there to see what he does for yourself. If you want the full meal deal then visit his website for an extensive stock photo collection. Here’s what his profile says:
