Hunter MoorheadI just love these pictures from the Cotton Council International 50 year reception. They did this in Washington, DC at Union Station. What I like is the little “cotton tree” that frame the speakers like Hunter Moorhead here.

AEM Moves Into New Office Building

Chuck Zimmerman

Association of Equipment ManufacturersA picture can almost be as good as being there. Almost. The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) just put the finishing touches on a new office building. They held an open house in June to “not only showcase its new headquarters office to attendees but also educate them – in a fun and informal way – about AEM and the industry segments it serves.”

Learn About Nutrients For Life

Chuck Zimmerman

Nutrients For LifeThe fertilizer folks want the general public to know more about the societal benefits of modern agriculture. One of the ways they say they’re doing that is by creating supplemental educational materials for middle and high school science curriculums. Those materials will be used for the first time this fall.

Board MeetingThe last thing to get done here at the Cattle Industry Summer Conference is the board meeting. This is a combined meeting of the Beef Board and NCBA, although the official meetings are held separately.

Kathy & JayYou never know who you’ll run into at a meeting like this.

At one of the early meetings here I found Kathy Cornett and Jay Truitt. They were observing the situation at the NCBA Allied Industry Council & Product Council Meeting.
