I would probably have posted a story about this anyway and I’m going to use in on World Dairy Diary too, but a company with this name deserves recognition. Besides the company name they’ve come up with a pretty good product name too.
ZimmComm Blog Sponsors Announced
We’re going to send out a news release on this but I’m too excited to wait. As some of you may have noticed earlier this week on AgWired, we have new sponsors coming on board World Dairy Diary.
Record First Quarter For Monsanto
It looks like Monsanto is planning on having a good year. According to their President and CEO, Hugh Grant, “The contribution of our seeds and traits business continues to grow, as more and more farmers throughout the world recognize the value and convenience of our products for their farms.
Lallemand Supports Organic Producers
My friends at Lallemand know how to get my attention. This time it was with some great San Louis gourmet coffee from Alotenango, Guatemala. I can’t find a website for this coffee or the importer, Lankin Corporation, but if you can find it, it’s good! It’s farm fresh roasted and packed.

Cathy thought we’d talk about products I think but I asked her more questions about marketing their products, including internationally. She said that of all the interviews she’d done so far that day no one had asked her the questions I had. Interesting. I hope you enjoy it.
New Look For Pioneer GrowingPoint Website
Pioneer has upgraded and changed its GrowingPoint website beginning Monday (probably by the time you read this). Actually I think it’s already live. It works for me. Most changes of this magnitude seem to result in a better website. It’s something that just has to be done periodically.
Valley Cams Tracker SP Remote Controlled Irrigation
Here’s news from Valmont Irrigation about a new component of their remote controlled irrigation systems. I think it’s interesting because farmers need to be pretty savvy adopters of technology to use these things and they certainly do. For example, if there’s a problem with the system:
