The Kansas City Agricultural Business Council won’t be having a meeting in October but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a great place to get together with other people in the business. Instead, October 20 is the 3rd annual Boots, Barbecue & Business luncheon hosted by the American Royal Association, Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce and Shook, Hardy & Bacon. The event will be held at the American Royal. Members of the Agricultural Business Council (and the general public too) are encouraged to participate. More information may be found on the American Royal website and tickets may be ordered here.

Blogging Is A Public Relations Function
As a Business Wire subscriber I just received my quarterly regional e-newsletter. Interestingly, it’s all about blogging and a conference they held in Denver on this subject. On the panel were people from a newspaper, an independent writer, a public relations agency and a news aggregator software company.

What Happens To Agri Marketing Magazine?
This had been rumored but we are not into the rumor mill here at AgWired. On Friday it was officially announced that those busy folks at Vance have added to their Food360 Division. What did they add, you ask?
Are You Old Enough To Listen To A Podcast?
Current conventional wisdom (what people “think”) seems to be that the internet and things like blogging and podcasting are just for young people. Why do we always assume things without checking out the research.
Home From Wisconsin
It’s good to be home. It was a long week in Madison, WI at the World Dairy Expo. If you haven’t checked out World Dairy Diary then you haven’t see how an event can be blogged if you work at it.
Bob Says Hit The Ground Running
Monte Shaw’s replacement has been announced by the Renewable Fuels Association. We hope to meet him on the road somewhere soon.
Jahnke’s Should Start A “Famous Bucks”
It’s been a busy day at World Dairy Expo. Made somewhat harder after spending an evening with this crew (farm broadcasters) at Pam Jahnke’s house in Madison. She’s the fabulous farm babe of Wisconsin. Buck made great ribs and mine hurt from laughing so hard at all the jokes.
New Chicken Officers
The National Chicken Council has some new officers as of yesterday when they were installed in Washington, DC. I learned on their website that last month was national chicken month. I think I did my part even though I wasn’t aware of it.
