For the first time today I actually forgot about something that I had posted. I mean I was talking to someone today on the phone and saying that what we were talking about would be good material for AgWired and she pointed out that I had written about it 2 months ago! Wow. She was also someone I’ve never met and was talking to for the first time. In fact, I didn’t even get her name. I guess AgWired’s getting out there. But it made me wonder. How many of these posts have I posted? Maybe there’s a reason I’d better search my own blog before posting!
In 6 months I’ve posted 1,207 articles (my word for posts) onto 4 different ZimmComm blogs. Now this doesn’t count two personal blogs I operate or 2 different volunteer blogs I operate like the one for Gateway NAMA.
So here’s how that 1,207 breaks out:
AgWired – 965
World Dairy Diary – 197
DomesticFuel – 39
Talking News Releases – 6
I’ll bet you didn’t know there were that many things to write about in the agricultural marketing world. That’s only 6 months folks. You ain’t seen nothing yet. Why? Because we’re going to have some more writers and contributors to AgWired. I’m working on it. I can’t pay much yet and I’m only interested in someone who knows “ag” and who’s already blogging! But we’ll be introducing you to some pro bloggers here very soon. BTW. Are you interested? If so, please feel free to make your interest known but remember you have to be blogging already.

The 28th annual Sunbelt Agricultural Exhibition kicked off Tuesday in Moultrie, Georgia with a variety of announcements being made. The Lancaster/Sunbelt Expo Southeastern farmer of the Year was one of those, as this year’s recipient was Okeechobee, Florida dairy farmer, Louis “Red” Larson. U.S. Ag Secretary Mike Johanns attended the Expo, as held one of his Farm Bill Forums, where he was able to hear from farmers across the region give their thoughts about the 2007 farm bill. But before the forum began, Johanns during a press conference, announced he had appointed Teresa Lasseter as adminstrator of the Farm Service Agency. Johanns also announced the FSA Tomorrow plan has been put on hold for the time being, as more research needs to take place. North America’s Premier Farm Show, the Sunbelt Ag Expo runs through Thursday.

This is a-mazing. And a really cool corn maze. Darrell Geisler is not only a corn grower but now he’s into agritourism. The eight-acre maze provides a rural adventure for visitors. “As our area becomes more urban, we wanted to provide a place for our neighbors to experience the farm and understand agriculture’s impact on our local economy since we are just 14 miles northeast of Des Moines,” Geisler said. “Plus, the corn maze has made it easier for my daughter and son-in-law to get involved in the family business. My daughter designed the corn maze, which maps out a scarecrow, barn, field and sponsor logos, including
