If you didn’t make it to the AMS Idol competition then never fear. AgWired is here (or was there). I only shot video of Barbra Streisand also known as Jodie Wehrspann, Farm Industry News. She did a big performance number including two songs. YouTube wouldn’t let me upload the whole performance but you can see her first song. 2007 Ag …
AMS Idol Judges
Our opening reception here at the AMS featured a unique competition called AMS Idol. Here are our famous judges getting ready to lay down the feedback to the competitors. One judge is not pictured (Marilyn Cummins). You figure out who they are. Let’s just say that the judges on that tv show that imitates this competition have nothing to worry …
Meet the Hubers
The farm tour at the Huber Winery Opening Reception was a little more sedate than the one we went on Saturday. Although I’m sure the end result for some people might have been the same (at least from what I’ve heard). Me, I was a good boy going home on the early bus. While we were at the Huber farm …
Promoting IFAJ 2009 Congress
We had multiple receptions yesterday starting with one to generate interest and support for the 2009 IFAJ Congress which will be held in conjunction with the Ag Media Summit. So, the organizing committee took many sponsors to Churchill Downs where we watched a video on the conference and had a short presentation by the Committee Co-Chairs Greg Lamp and Mike …

Stacked Traits For Breakfast
This morning Syngenta hosted a pancake breakfast for us and distributed memory sticks containing all the information we need including logos, product info, etc. They used pancake stacks to emphasize their Agrisure stacked traits for corn. Nice tie in folks. I’m in my morning session room getting ready to discuss “Blogging for Business.” The early comers are seeing blogging in …
Opening Reception Fun
Even though I took the first bus back from the opening reception at Huber Winery it’s still too late for this agriblogger to get much done tonight. I’ll try to get some new pics added to the photo album though. Gary, Leigh Ann and Kelly are having fun at the opening reception which is still going on I assume. We …

We’ve got sessions starting at 1pm and receptions starting as early as 3:45pm before the big one which will take place at Huber Farms starting at 6pm. Keep …
Talking Tobacco
In case you’ve never seen a tobacco flower they are very pretty. I’m not sure if they have any use and I didn’t ask. If you’d like to learn a little bit about tobacco then watch this video clip from our farm tour stop. In it our host shows us the difference in tobacco quality that you get from leaves …
Tobbacco Farm Stop
One of our stops on the Saturday tour was a tobacco farm. I’m no expert but his crop looked to be in great shape and you can see pictures of it in the photo album. Here’s Harlan Persinger sniffing some dried tobacco that was on display. We didn’t get to chew or smoke any though. The farmer gave the group …
