Here’s the current blogroll for the Kansas State Agricultural Communications Student Blog. It’s just getting started but they’ve obviously got their blogroll priorities straight!
Good idea Dr. Ashlock!
150 Wines A Day
Here’s a competition that I would love to be a judge for. It’s the 15th annual Indy International Wine Competition which will be held July 27-29 in the Blue Ribbon Pavilion at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.
Gator Style Information Conference
Here’s a conference I wish I could attend. At my alma mater no less. How ’bout them Gators? I wonder if “electronic publishing” could be code for blogging?
Texas Style Farm Podcasting

How many of you know about the Pawpaw? It’s a native American fruit. I can’t say I’ve had any experience with it. Apparently there are efforts to bring it “back.” I don’t know from where but after reading about it I’d sure like to try some.
