Alane Lidolph, the new Missouri Beef Industry Council, director of consumer information is featured on this week’s MBIC Report as we reported earlier. So we had to send out a Talking News Release, which we always post here too.
July 23 Is National Cowboy Day
I’m sure my old buddy, Derry Brownfield, would like this. A national cowboy day. I never even heard about it until Cindy brought it to my attention. You can find a reference to it on the American Farm Bureau home page, including a series of psa’s recorded by Randy Huston. How many of you have heard these on the radio? If not, it’s probably because stations just don’t play psa’s like they used to!
It’s Time For A Podcast Network
There’s a new network in town. It’s the BX Radio Network which will brand itself as Coolcast Radio. They’re just in the formative stages right now and looking for podcasters and writers. We’ve submitted the ZimmCast for consideration. I have to say that when I saw that “farming” was a topic they were looking for content on I got really interested!
Laser Engraved Produce
Now this is cool. I hate peeling those little labels off fruit and vegetables after you buy them. Sometimes I think they’ve been put on with super glue. Even when you get them off they sometimes leave a sticky residue. This company has got a great idea and I can see this catching on, not only for product labelling but also for advertising!
You Can Still Register For IFAJ Congress
Borrowing from the latest International Federation of Agricultural Journalists newsletter, “more than 180 journalists from 24 countries have registered to attend the 2005 IFAJ Congress in Switzerland next month.” That’s where we’ll be blogging the trip thanks to Pioneer Hi-Bred, our sponsor.
Japanese TV Crew In Illinois
I think I’m turning Japanese. I think I’m turning Japanese. At least Leon Corzine might have been singing that.
Jeri Omernik ARC Interview
