You know I’m a big fan of the International Federation of Agricultural Journalists (IFAJ) so when I saw a link to an “IFAJ Trailer” I had to YouTube it for you.
Cindy and I just made our reservations for the IFAJ Congress this fall in Japan. The early registration deadline is today. Nothing like waiting until the last minute, eh? One of my event coverage sponsors again this year is Pioneer Hi-Bred. I’m still looking for one or two more sponsors so if you’re interested please let me know.
Are you still one of those people who don’t understand what RSS is? Wonder no more. The people at Commoncraft have made understanding very easy (I think).
I have tried my best to describe this to many people and I find that it works best to show it in action, which I do in many of my workshops and presentations. These guys have put together a great video though and it’s worth watching even if you are a pro since you may find it helpful in trying to describe RSS to the un-enlightened.
No. This is not about the hams on Pam but the hams that Pam sells. It’s Pams-hams.
According to her website, she’s the retired marketing director of Honeybaked in Michigan. So in her retirement she’s still selling hams. This time for herself. You’ve got to love that spirit and how the web allows us to do things that years ago might not have been possible.
I like ham and I like this idea. Besides it’s Monday, I’m playing catch up (archiving the 900 pictures I took in the last 4 days, 40 video files and 11 interviews). So this story got me into my posting mode.
Thanks to meatingplace.com for the idea.
Ethanol wins another Indy car race. Actually, driver Dan Wheldon won the race. He’s getting to be regular at this. It was a great race with very little incidents. The ethanol car driven by Jeff Simmons came in tenth so way to got Jeff.
I didn’t post much here this weekend since I’ve doing a lot of photography and interviews. Those are being used mostly on Domestic Fuel and for a number of other purposes, including by my sponsor, the Ethanol Promotion and Information Council.
I’m looking forward to heading on home and sorting through hundreds of photos, many of which you can find in the photo album.
It’s the end of the day for me here at Kansas Speedway. The Indy car qualifying is over now and Jeff Simmons got through it okay. His qualifying time is 210.994 MPH. That ethanol fuel definitely has a kick.
After they qualify the drivers all come by the IRL Bull Pen for pics and interviews. Of course I interviewed Jeff. He’s our ethanol champion out there and we’re definitely rooting for him tomorrow.
Jeff wishes he had done a little better in qualifying but says the car races better than it qualifies. I guess we’ll see tomorrow.
Here’s my interview with Jeff:

Special tankers are on location here at Kansas Speedway to fill the Indy Cars with ethanol.
These are set up right next to the regular fueling station.
It’s just one of the challenges the IRL has to deal with in making this season’s conversion to all ethanol fuel.
I don’t know if you’re a Danica fan or not but some AgWired readers are.
Danica was part of an Indy Racing League press conference on Friday. She got most of the questions.
A full day of activities is taking place without interruption today.
The sun is out and you probably couldn’t ask for better racing weather.
We’re all about promotion here at ZimmComm New Media and the promotional efforts by EPIC to reach out to the public seemed to be working pretty well this week in Kansas City.
Here’s Indy car driver Jeff Simmons doing a live break on AM 610 radio during the pump promotion they ran yesterday.
It looks like we’ll get a little rain out here at Kansas Speedway. But it’s going to clear up by tomorrow. I think it’s going to be a busy weekend here as we get ready for IRL and 100% ethanol fuel action on Sunday.
This is what’s going on today. Tweaking the cars. The drivers get 2 practice sessions tomorrow prior to qualifying in mid afternoon. This is the Rahal-Letterman garage where they’re working on the #17 Team Ethanol car.
