It took most of the day to get a personal interview with Willie but I got ‘er done. Ask NBB Board member Greg Anderson how difficult it was. Let’s just say they weren’t letting the media do one-on-one’s but where there’s a will there’s an agriblogger.

I think there had to be over 500 people there and I counted at least 10 tv cameras. I didn’t see any farm reporters though. I was just the lone agriblogging farm podcaster.

It sure looks different in San Diego than the midwest this time of year. We’ve got flowers everywhere.
I don’t know why we don’t see this used more often. Here at the 
I think this will be my last post from the Cattle Industry Convention. To sort of bring it full circle I interviewed the new Chairman of the Cattlemen’s Beef Board, Jay O’Brien, from Amarillo, TX. The gavel was passed to him this morning.
