Andy Vance at Buckeye Ag Radio Network has been providing me with some great stories for World Dairy Diary. This one had a broader audience and includes his interview so I thought I’d post it here too.
Michael Will Be At Classic
The 2006 Commodity Classic is getting closer. That’s one of the reasons I’ve been a little behind on posting today. Preparations. That and having our internet access upgraded somewhat which caused us to be “without” for a while this afternoon. But no time like the present time to post some news.
Arnold Tours World Ag Expo
One of the place I couldn’t be this week is World Ag Expo, Tulare, CA. However, the Governator was. The show newsletter says he toured yesterday and made comments, focusing on water issues for one thing.
Agromek About To Kick Off In Denmark
General Manager Peter Hansen, who is also chairman, is about to kick off Agromek 2006 on January 17.
Butter Is Bigger & Better
A little butter makes things better. In this case The Farm Show got kicked off in Pennsylvania with a sculpture crafted from 800 pounds of butter that was donated by the Land O’Lakes plant in Carlisle, PA.
100 Years of the National Western
This would be me in a rodeo. You can’t get thrown and trampled by a stick. However, I wouldn’t be safe because you can still trip over a stick and fall down and break your neck.
Jerry Sinift Interim GM For World Ag Expo
World Ag Expo has an interim general manager to replace Gary Schulz. He’s Jerry Sinift and he’s got a lot of experience at the show as his resume attests to.
Gary Schulz Leaves International Agri-Center
Well I guess I know why Gary hasn’t been getting back to me. I’d been discussing the idea of blogging World Ag Expo with Gary Schultz who even attended the NAMA Boot Camp and my blogging class.
Stockton Ag Expo
This image is all I got via email but thankfully it has a website listed. It’s the Stockton Ag Expo. If you print out the “ad” you get $1 off admission and on opening day you also get a pancake breakfast!
Utah State Fair By Napoleon Dynamite
Steve Mays gets the credit here. He found out that the Utah State Fair is using Napoleon Dynamite in their marketing campaign and I think it’s hilarious. Of course I’ve already watched the movie about 4 times and think it’s funnier every time I see it. You can find Napoleon’s Sweet Ads here. Just look at the link in the left side list.
