Dairy or Beef. The choice is yours at the Alltech Global 500. We’ve got two conferences taking place this year as the company expands on its successful dairy conference. I’ll be focusing on dairy quite a bit while Alltech’s Dave Butler takes care of the beef side but we’ll be sharing content. My photos will be loaded into this album …
The Road To The Alltech Global Dairy 500
During most of Monday I’ll be on the agriblogging highway to Lexington, KY for the Alltech Global Dairy 500. The theme is “Sustainability in a Changing World.” The program has been so successful that this year they’ve added a “Global Beef 500” as well! I’m looking forward to seeing my Alltech friends and enjoying a frosty Kentucky Ale! Most of …
Alltech Improves Crops
Most people think of animal health when they think of Alltech. But did you know that they are also involved in plant and crop health? I learned this at the recent Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games when VP, Aidan Connolly (pictured right), introduced me to Molly Dugan. Molly told me all about Improcrop, a subsidiary of Alltech. She says that …
Alltech Café Citadelle Helping Haitians
If you’re a coffee lover and want to support a good cause then consider Alltech Café Citadelle. I bought two pounds at the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games where Carlos Ronchi was pouring for attendees. Carlos says that a cooperative in Haiti is producing the coffee and they’re re-building after the devastating earthquake earlier this year. Attendees at the WEG …
Competition In Rolex Stadium At WEG
It may be raining off and on today at the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games but that’s not dampening anyone’s spirits that I can tell. I’m about to go on a photo walk starting with Rolex Stadium where we have the dressage competition underway. Later this afternoon John Deere will be hosting media for a reception and I’ll be …
Enjoying The Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games
The Olympics of horse sports, the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games, is off to a great start in Lexington, KY and I’m enjoying every minute of my stay here courtesy of John Deere.

Besides their pavilion they also have a reining demonstration arena set up and I just happened to …
Alltech Haitian Harmony Children’s Choir
The Alltech Haitian Harmony Children’s Choir is on location at the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games and they visited the Media Chill Out Zone for a taping of Alltech’s Here & Now, daily web tv show from the games. Pictured in the middle of all these kids is Dr. Pearse Lyons, the founder and owner of Alltech. I thought I’d …
William Shatner Rouses Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games
I am betting there are people at the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games who got their hotel or airfare via Priceline. If so, it would have made the master pitch man, William Shatner, happy. He made an appearance during the opening ceremonies here last night and got huge cheers from the crowd. He didn’t beam anyone up though. Now …
