I knew another milestone was fast approaching for AgWired but I didn’t catch it until I went past it. This post is number 1,002! When I got started I thought that I’d be lucky to post something every once in a while. Little did I know. I guess it’s called being bitten by the blog bug. Whatever it is, there is no shortage of information or topics.
George W. Has A Christmas Tree
It may not look a lot like Christmas yet but George W. has a tree for the White House. The National Christmas Tree Association helped get it picked out. This is a nice looking tree.
Historic World Ag Expo
They claim it’s still number one after 39 years and the name is certainly fitting. World Ag Expo just wants you to know a little of the history. I’m hoping to find out all about it myself next year and “blog it.” If you’re interested in being the exclusive sponsor of AgWired coverage of the show just contact me now for the cost.
See Newborn Piglets On The Pig Cam
Right next door to Kemper Arena is the American Royal Center which also includes Hale Arena . There’s a lot going in inside, including The American Royal Marketplace where you can do some early holiday shopping.
Bull Wall At American Royal
Outside the American Royal is a very large and very unique metal structure called “Bull Wall.”
American Royal Kicks It Into High Gear
The 107th American Royal is in full swing and in fact the PRCA Rodeo is scheduled in Kemper Arena in Kansas City on Oct. 27 – 29! I was on site this past weekend so I’ve got a few images to share. Maybe there’ll be time to go spend a day at least. This is one busy place this month and next!
FarmPolicy Writer Keith Good Starts Today
Let’s give a great big AgWired welcome to Keith Good. Why? Because starting today Keith will be our first regular writer! Keith is a blogger and you can find him on FarmPolicy. He’s a policy and trade guy who will be bringing you a weekly summary of what’s new in the world of ag policy.
Flame That Flu Away
I haven’t said much about avian flu because I just don’t really know much about it. However, when you’ve got one of these flame shooting poultry house sanitizers we may just not have to worry too much! I like propane (I just wish it were cheaper) and here’s a great use for it. In fact, if you want to see a video of Flame Engineering’s Red Dragon Poultry House Flame Sanitizer just look here (9.1MB WMV).
Pouring Milk Makes You Test Positive
Major League Baseball may not be very happy about the new Got Milk tv ads but I say, “Get a life.” They’re funny and created by the California Milk Processor Board.
Beef Is What Ambassadors Are Made Of
Maybe I could enter as an “old” student and be an ambassador for beef! If you read AgWired you’ll probably get the impression that I think beef is good. But if you’re a real student you can compete for some cashola.
