Last month was a rewarding, refreshing and revitalizing, what with the Colorado Farm Show in Greeley, where we made new friends and renewed old acquaintances. We recorded many interviews on our Marantz 660 for airing over the Evan Slack Network.
And met with Colorado Corn Growers, some of which plan to attend the Commodity Classic in Nashville later this month. While corn growers are enjoying higher prices, they are paying more for fertilizer and other inputs.
This was our 49th year covering the National Western Stock Show, missing only 2-days to attend the AFBF annual meeting.
The Denver setting saw 18 beef breeds being shown with over 2/3’s holding national auction’s. Noteably higher prices paid for Angus, Hereford and Simmental bulls. Also at the NWSS Bison, Yak, Longhorns, draft horses, mules. International sheep shearing contest, wool show, junior livestock show and sale, and PRCA Rodeo.
Our listening family was upbeat as they looked forward to the New Year.
Earlier, last month we attended the Rocky Mountain Agri-Business Assn. annual meeting and the Dry Edible Bean get-together.
We’re headed to Reno next week for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, American National Cattlewomen’s Conventions and the Cattlemen’s Beef Board
meeting.
Tune us in on your neighborhood Radio Station.
Thanks.
