I am truly such an idiot. I didn’t record my presentation yesterday or the roundtable discussion on the same subject this morning.
I just led a discussion on agriblogging and farm podcasting after breakfast. There were about 11 people in the discussion and it was excellent. I am fascinated by the interest in podcasting on the part of publications, especially when I see so little interest in it on the part of farm broadcasters.

We’re in the Agriblogging and Farm Podcasting workshop.
After getting back to the Portland Hilton (and air conditioning) from our river cruise it was party time. Wait a minute. What were we doing on the boat?
In honor of Andy Markwart, former editor of The Furrow, beloved member of the Quasimojo Band and AAEA, who passed away earlier this year, John Deere is creating and supporting the Andy Markwart Horizon Award. The idea is to create a fund over the next couple years from which scholarships can be awarded to students so they can attend either the Ag Media Summit or an international event like the IFAJ Congress.
I wish I had the camera Lisa Perrin, Holstein Association USA, has. On our river cruise we had lots of opportunity for taking some great photos.
I was just minding my own business when Larry Dreiling, High Plains Journal, comes up and says, “Give me $20.” Say what?
It’s a good thing we had a big boat for our dinner cruise. I don’t know how many people we had on board but it seemed like a lot.
What do you do when it’s about 100 degrees out and there’s a water fountain you can get into? You jump into it.
