AG CONNECT Expo now has an iPhone app available. Working with Core-Apps, LLC, and their Follow Me application, you can navigate the show floor like a pro. The app has interactive maps, lets you search the exhibitor directory or create your own schedule by choosing the sessions you want to attend and speakers you want to hear.
It’s on my phone even though it does cost $1.99. As we get closer to the show I’m sure there will be more data available. It’s got a download function that lets you download exhibitor handouts for example.
You can download the app via iTunes here.

Let’s end the year with something new. 
This week we traveled to northern Illinois where there is still lots of corn in the fields and lots of flooded areas due to the extremely wet fall. I talked with Ron Hansen of Kankakee, who still has about 300 acres to combine, but he says it is still standing pretty well, despite a storm that blew through last week with 40 mph winds. It helped him see a side by side comparison of how Headline helped with standability in this late year. “We had a check on one field and that check was 100 percent down from end to end, and where the Headline was there were spots it was down but it was not down at the root, where as with the check it was,” Ron told me. 
The 
These photos are two different fields I saw along the road between Cullom and St. Anne that showed a pretty stark contrast in standability. No idea of who the farmers are who own those fields, what varieties they planted or plant health products they used, but I’d say the farmer with the field in the left photo has a better chance of salvaging a decent crop, whenever that may be.
