This is just not being scheduled at a good time for me. Why don’t people call and check my schedule first? Anyway, I’d love to go since the Portable Media Expo & Podcast Conference is all about what we’re all about here at ZimmComm. I know we’re all about agricultural marketing but that includes embracing new ways to distribute information.
The Charleston Orwig Suite At World Dairy Expo
In most big time stadiums you’ll find the “suites” where you’ve got your own little room to watch the game with your friends and clients. It’s the same here at the Coliseum at World Dairy Expo.
Farm Broadcasters In Action At Expo
Isn’t this a sight? You’ve got Bob Bosold, Col. Jon Phillips, Emery Kleven and Randy Koenen plotting World Dairy Expo coverage strategy. Yeah, that’s what they were talking about all right.
Bagpipes In The Show Ring
I just have to post this here on AgWired since I really like bagpipes. My sister played them for our high school “Kiltie Band.”
Hoard’s Sponsors Expo Reception
You always have to celebrate the end of the first day at a farm show. World Dairy Expo is no different. The exhibitor reception was sponsored by Hoard’s Dairyman. Isn’t this a great looking group?
All Aboard For World Dairy Expo 2006
While I was in the media room here at World Dairy Expo a little while ago I found out about next year’s “theme”. It’s already designed and they were providing us with posters. So here’s your first look at next year’s theme – Dairy Central. Let me know what you think!
New Monsanto Weed Resistance Website
I didn’t receive a release on this but was alerted to a new Monsanto website for farmers. It’s all about how to take care of pesky weed problems and called “Weed Resistance Management.”
McCormick Company Expo Exhibit
You never know who you’ll see when you go to a farm show. I’m here blogging the World Dairy Expo (World Dairy Diary) and the booth next to my little office is for the Southwest Plains Dairy Directory. I posted an announcement about it here on AgWired recently. And the person who’s working the exhibit is Kathy Cornett, Chairman of McCormick Company and a past president of the National Agri-Marketing Association I might add.
Value Added On CornTalk
CornTalk, a weekly program for the Missouri Corn Growers Association, features an interview with the CEO, Gary Marshall. Gary talks about added value – and how it is benefiting Missouri corn growers. Last week USDA Rural Development announced the awarding of grant assistance under the Value Added Producer Grant program, and Missouri received more funding than any other single state.
Bader Rutter Promotion
I like seeing a “farm” background in the bio on someone involved in agrimarketing. However, it’s certainly not required. Congrats John.
