The 2006 World Championship Appaloosa Show is underway now in Ft. Worth, TX. This is significant because by next year’s show there will be content from the event as it’s happening on a new website we’re developing for The Appaloosa Horse Club. And of course, it’s a blog. It’s not ready yet or I’d direct you to it.
New National FFA Officers
There’s a new national officer leadership team at the FFA. They were elected during the final sesson of the convention.
Beef Board Appointments
I love getting these announcements on a Friday afternoon (not).
A Rocking Theme
The FFA Convention is off to a rocking start if you judge it by the theme song. The theme is Blue Jackets – Gold Standards.
79th FFA Convention Kicks Off
The 79th FFA Convention got kicked off today. I was hoping to be there but it just didn’t work out. The FFA website has a lot of content you can check out though to keep up with all the action.
New FFA Merchandise Center
FFA is big business from the looks of this announcement about their new Merchandise Center. I guess you learn something new everyday. I had no idea their merchandise business was so big.
CropLife America Awards
Thanks go to Grace Oh for this picture of Janis McFarland receiving her award at the recent CropLife America annual meeting in Orlando, FL.
Quality Time With CAB
I so love to blur the lines. Here’s a story from Certified Angus Beef that’s targeted to farm broadcasters. It comes as a story that’s written in 2 versions (30 sec and 60 sec) and a soundbite. Now that’s cool and I’ve helped Steve Suther and company get started “doing it themselves.”
Cattlemen’s Boot Camp
There’s boot camps for everything it seems like. Even cattlemen.
New Ag Hall of Famers
