The folks at Farm Aid are providing some great content for an agricultural new media workshop. I know I’ll be using them as an example in the one I’ll be conducting at the Ag Media Summit next week.
CCI Celebrates 50 Years
I 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
A 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
The 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 Meeting Last On The Agenda
The 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.
Catching Up On Blog Feeds
I’m sure that these cattle industry professionals are all online checking the latest on AgWired.
Promoting The Annual Convention
It’s never too early to promote the next major event on the cattle industry calendar.
Meeting Observers
You 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.
Beef Board Executive Committee
One of the early meetings here at the Cattle Industry Summer Conference is the Beef Board Executive Committee.
Media Handlers
The media room is supervised by Joe Schuele and Grace Webb. Here they are hard at work making sure the agribloggers and farm podcasters and other media types are getting what they need.
