Most of Sunday will be a travel day to get to Chicago so the next time your hear from me I’ll be in the windy city. One of the 60+ press releases I’ve received on BIO 2006 is about “what’s new at BIO.” Well for me it will all be new since I’ve never been. I’m guessing that there’s some other newbies in the 18,000 plus expected to show up. But in case you’re a BIO veteran here’s what they say is new.

My fellow blogger Paul Conley has a new blog project called Wind Farm News. I’ll let him explain what it’s all about:

Aren’t we cute? We had a nice photographer here a couple weeks ago since the Jefferson City Business Times was doing an article on us. This is the picture he shot. I wish they had a website so I could link you to the article but apparently not. At least it’s a nice picture.

I just found out that the FFA officers are blogging. If you haven’t seen their blogs you can find a list of them here. Thanks to Cyndi Young for the heads up on her blog. She also found the Ohio FFA Officer blog too.

Boy did I need some time away from the phone and computer. 2 1/2 days without a mobile phone, email, internet, computer, etc. I highly recommend this for everyone at least once a year.

Actually I’ll be incommunicado for a couple days on an annual retreat. Gotta re-charge those batteries. Cindy might post something if she gets time otherwise you’re stuck without me until Sunday evening sometime. Lots of good information came in today and I would have posted more of it but this server move has created some challenges.

This means that there will be lots more coming so feel free to browse back through posts you might have missed.

Until then . . .

Hello AgWired fans. We’re in the process of moving to new servers. This is a bigger challenge than I thought it would be but we’re working through it. So far the only glitch is losing the last 3 posts I did last night.

This should all be completed within the next day or two. I’m only letting you know in case something else happens that would affect your viewing of the site.

I found out about the tragic event in Homestead, FL yesterday while I was on a Katy Trail walk in the sunshine. I had different posting plans at that point. They included posting some pictures from my hike which I’m doing now.

I don’t know if I’m the only Monty Python fan in agrimarketing but just in case I’m not I wanted to alert you to a great little video clip of the crew being interviewed on KERA in Dallas, TX in 1975. You can watch the video or download it in iPod format (which I did). It’s set during KERA’s pledge drive since they are a public tv station. The clip is brought to us by The Sound of Young America blog.

Just because I haven’t posted much doesn’t mean there’s nothing going on. After 4 hours of meetings in Omaha and the 5 1/2 hour drive back and a little time emailing there just isn’t enough fuel in this engine for more.
