I just thought I’d share an example of the AgWired search engine magnificence. I did a post late yesterday about Barry Engle being named as the new head of New Holland Ag.

Elanco Purchases Posilac From Monsanto
Here’s an interesting announcement. Elanco has signed an agreement to buy the worldwide rights to Posilac from Monsanto. The deal includes the product’s supporting operations. I hope they have good luck with it. There sure are a lot of activists against it. I don’t think they’ve got any scientific basis for their fears but sometimes perception is reality. I sure …

I made it to La Ceiba on the north coast of Honduras. The city is much more set up for tourists and I was able to wander into a local resort and get a good enough connection to load some more video. Finally! So, for those of you interested in getting a better look at the ag program Billy Collins …
Moonlight On Carolina Beach
Hundreds of people are gathered here in Carolina Beach, NC for the Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica Swine Health Seminar. The program gets kicked off tomorrow morning.

Ag Steward of the Chortí Maya
There is a group of indigenous people in Honduras that live off an average of $300 a year… less than one dollar a day. At least two months out of every year they starve. That’s the reality as Billy Collins sees it. Billy has been working with the Chortí Maya, the direct descendants of the Mayan Indians, for five years. …

Getting more corn yield per acre was the theme of an interview I did with Shannon Hauf, Monsanto Area Technology Development Manager for Minnesota and Iowa.

I got to speak with her after listening to a field stop that was all about “stress mitigation.” Shannon says that about …
