I actively promote NewsGator as “the” news aggregator program you should use. For one thing it integrates right into Outlook and although the RSS feeds you subscribe to aren’t email, it allows you to view and handle them like email, including being able to forward a feed to someone as an email!
Sunset in Mid Missouri
It has been a hot and dry month in Missouri. With a few exceptions we need rain and we’re hoping to get it this week. At 4am this morning it was 81 degrees here in Holts Summit!
IFAJ Photo Contest Entries Available Online
Everybody like to look at pictures so take a look at the entries to the IFAJ Photo Contest. They have some good ones to judge. Hopefully we can enter next year. The awards will be presented at the upcoming 2005 IFAJ Congress which we’ll be blogging.
East Region Biofuels Workshop Scheduled
While I’m on the topic of ethanol I wanted to point you to the upcoming Biofuels Workshop & Trade Show – East Region that’s being organized by the folks at BBI International. They are really into this ethanol conference thing with the recent Fuel Ethanol Workshop in Kansas City and one coming up in China later this year!
Ethanol Job Bank
I picked up a card about ethanol-jobs.com at the recent Fuel Ethanol Workshop and have been meaning to post a notice about it. It’s a very nicely done website by the folks at BBI International that is exactly what it says it is – an online ethanol industry job bank for both those looking for a job or to hire someone. It’s very easy to use and I like the simple, clean design.
Tractor Supply Company Acquisition
The big are getting bigger. Or should I say the biggest is getting bigger.
New ED For NAFB
The National Association of Farm Broadcasters (NAFB) officially announced their new Executive Vice President today. He’s Bill O’Neill. I think it’s very interesting to see a broadcast organization (that I’ve long belonged to) hire a “print” person. There are certainly challenges ahead for NAFB and maybe Bill can bring some new ideas to the organization to help them out! Look for an interview with Bill here as soon as I can get in touch with him. Gene, good job in the interim. I agree with Emery.
BIV Receives APHIS Approval
I wonder if they’re doing any radio for this announcement? Not only would the products be difficult to say but what they treat is even more difficult.
Soybean Rust Video Available
According to the latest news from the Plant Management Network a video on soybean rust is now available from Today’s Ag. You can find the report here, An In-Depth Look at Soybean Rust.
Sweet Logo Giveaways
This is a sweet story. Apparently it used to cost a lot of money to have the molds made for your custom chocolate. No longer with Schoko Logo. These folks say they’ve got a new technology that makes it a lot less expensive to sweeten up your next trade show booth or conference.
