Before leaving the Convention Center this morning I stopped in to see the progress on the trade show. In the main entrance this lady was working on a very nice looking sand sculpture. I guess they want to let us think of the beach even though we’re inside during some beautiful winter weather. AgWired coverage of Commodity Classic is made …
Meeting The Media at Commodity Classic
As is often the case, yours truly is one of the first into the media room. One of my sponsors for AgWired coverage here is New Holland. They also sponsor the media room each year as you may have heard in my interview with Gene Hemphill yesterday in this week’s ZimmCast. I’m looking forward to his reception for the media …
Commodity Classic Photo Album
Inside the Tampa Convention Center there are some early arrivals getting checked in but it’ll probably be this afternoon before things get into full swing.

Tampa Convention Center
It’s a beautiful day here in Tampa at the Convention Center. Things are kind of relaxed and quiet but there are already meetings taking place as companies and the sponsoring organizations get ready for all the farmers who will check in starting today.

I’m going to try to post all the interviews and other …
BASF Plant Health Scientists at Symposium
I’d like to announce BASF as one of the companies that is sponsoring AgWired coverage of this year’s Commodity Classic. Thank you very much. This is going to be fun since the first activity I’ll be participating in at Classic will be the BASF “The Science Behind Plant Health” Symposium on Wednesday afternoon. It’s going to be a chance to …
CommodityClassicCast Podcast
I got to thinking this weekend that with all the interviews and audio we’ll be posting this week from Commodity Classic we ought to podcast it. It just makes it easier for a lot of people to go ahead and subscribe so they can listen when/where they want. So that’s why I’m announcing the CommodityClassicCast. Yep, a new podcast from …
New Holland’s New Logo
A new logo and a new tractor, that’s the news from New Holland. Before we go into that any further let me thank New Holland in advance for their sponsorship of AgWired coverage of the Commodity Classic once again this year. They won’t be my only sponsor but it’ll be tomorrow before I announce more. At the National Farm Machinery …
Bounty On The Bay
