Okay. It’s a little self-promotion. But hey, if I don’t promote myself how are you going to believe I can help you promote yourself?

Here we are blog training at the the Agri-Marketing Boot Camp. This is a demo post.

This evening was the producer panel. Joining me as our farmer panel were Brian Bogue, Bogue Farms (right in picture), Holt, MO; Michael Amigoni, Amigoni Family Vineyards (left of podium), Centerview, MO; Larry Oltjen, cattleman, Robinson, KS (far left in picture). I had the pleasure to moderate this panel. What a great group of producers we had.

Here’s where agri-marketers need to be to learn how to, well, agri-market. A farm!

The Boot Camp crew had to stop for lunch. I don’t have the name of the farm but they got to lounge around in the shade. I wonder who that is on the cell phone?

Agri-Marketing Boot Camp got started today. I didn’t go on the tour but thanks to my good friend Ken Dean, High Plains Journal, we have some photos to share! Over 60 people are here to learn about agricultural marketing, along with about another 20 of us (staff, presenters, sponsors).

Now we’re talking Boot Camp Blogging! NAMA has one and of course AgWired’s blogging it. I just got in and noticed the announcement about the Agri-marketing Boot Camp Blog. Eldon, you’ve been busy. Good start. It’ll be interesting to see how it goes.

In just a few minutes I’m going to be on a conference call with the panelists for Wednesday evening’s NAMA Boot Camp producer panel. They’ll give attendees an opportunity to “Hear first hand how to effectively communicate with the end user.” Featured guests will include lifestyle and large operators.

If you’re a National Agri-Marketing Association member you may already know this if you read your NAMA e-News. If you’re not a member then . . . (become one!)

I don’t think I’ve pointed you to the National Agri-Marketing Association’s fall Agribusiness Forum have I?
