Cindy wanted me to barbeque something today but I’m not into “extreme barbeque.” At least not when it’s only in the teens outside. But the Cattlemen’s Beef Board wants us to think about grilling. They’re going to be firing up the Summer Grilling Campaign again.
LongHorn, Not The Long Tail
I will bet this is a very friendly group of people and would be a lot of fun to attend. It’s the Legacy II sale of the Texas Longhorn Breeders Association of America. They say that Texas longhorns are dressed up and ready for a night on the town and I believe it.
Promotion Board Appointments
Secretary Johanns was busy doing the appointing thing again last week. He must have to do a lot of interviews to fill these positions don’t you think?
Wonder If We’ll See A Mushroom Blog
The Mushroom Council has hired a blogger and his company which now has a new blogger, to be their new agency. Kudos for them.
New Directors For National Cotton Council
A new group of leaders is at the helm of the National Cotton Council. The announcement was made today at their annual meeting.
Beltwide Presentations Available Via Confex
This is pretty interesting. Now that the 2006 Beltwide Cotton Conference is over, speakers and attendees can still have access to the presentations. The only way you can gain access to the recorded ones is with your registration number though. However, there’s lots of other information available. This is done using The Conference Exchange. The 2006 Confex Podium sponsors are Monsanto and Stoneville.
RFA Blogging The Ethanol Conference
I think what we’re doing is starting to catch on. The Renewable Fuels Association announced that they’ll be blogging the National Ethanol Conference. Great idea. The conference comes right after last week’s National Biodiesel Conference in San Diego which was blogged by yours truly for NBB.
Daryl Hannah On Biodiesel
Here’s a ZimmCast that’s a little different. The first star to support biodiesel is Daryl Hannah.
Blogging My Way To San Diego Today
Today is a transition day for AgWired. I’ll be finishing up here at the Cattle Industry Convention before heading on to San Diego to the National Biodiesel Conference. I’ll be bringing you all the action from there starting tomorrow.
Update On The R-Calf Convention
Since I’m doing so much coverage of the Cattle Industry Convention and since I couldn’t attend the R-Calf convention Cindy interviewed Mike Callicrate, NoBull Enterprises about the activities of that meeting.
