Chuck Zimmerman

Joni HarmsA “Country Swing” evening event with Joni Harms is just one of the activities on the agenda for the Cattle Industry Summer Conference that gets kicked off this weekend in Reno. I’m heading back to the city I just drove through for a few days of event blogging here on AgWired and on Beef Board Meeting.

Active Egg Eaters

Kick It UpThe “Let’s Get A Sports Figure” strategy is still alive and well. The American Egg Board is teaming up with soccer star Kristine Lilly. They’re offering tips on healthy eating for active kids. It’s nice to know that not all kids are fat, lazy video game players. Seems that way sometimes from all the news media.
