While Cindy is getting ready to head on over to the National Farm Machinery Show this morning I thought I’d share my latest video for the Drive Green Utility Tractor Show. I’m starting to get used to the whole new YouTube HD thing and I love it. I thought this would be especially appropriate since John Deere is sponsoring Cindy’s …
A Texas Moon and Daryl Hannah
Here’s one of the photos from this afternoon’s end of day photo shoot along the river bank near my hotel. I shot a lot of birds too (digital photos) and there’s a couple of them that came out okay. I really didn’t have all my gear here and I was shooting hand held too so it could have gone better. …

Farm Podcaster Temptations
Hey farm podcasters. Have you been wanting a new digital audio recorder? Marantz is offering some temptations. First of all there’s a rebate program for the very popular PMD620 (Cindy and I each have one). If you purchase it between now and March 31st you get a $100 rebate. That’s a deal. I recommend purchasing from BSW. Then to tempt …

Driving Green in HD
Perhaps you’ve heard about YouTube allowing bigger file uploads and HD quality. Perhaps not. That’s what ZimmComm is here for.

With the new John Deere Drive Green project we’re involved in …
Obama Announces Vilsack and Salazar
Thanks to AP we can see President-Elect Obama’s announcement of Tom Vilsack for Ag Secretary and Ken Salazar as Interior Secretary. I have to ask the question, “Why does every ag group out there feel compelled to send out news releases with their thoughts on the matter?” They all say the same thing (exicted about . . . looking forward …
AgRootsTV
I had a chance to look at Alltech’s AgRootsTV this morning and thought I’d make a few comments. I’m not really into doing full reviews here though unless you think I should. I’d like your feedback on that. Every time I do so I find that someone is not happy with me no matter what I say. On to AgRootsTV. …
