We are now halfway through day 2 of FarmTech 2011 and here is what we have learned so far:
- Drew Lerner had some excellent comments in regards to the weather. Says don't look at it on so much of a year to year basis but look at the weather in 10 to 25 year cycles. It seems like we are in a cooling cycle right now. Also of note it was interesting to hear his take on "global warming" or "climate change" and how it may not be as bad as some scientists and media outlets are making it
- Merle Good taught us that there is an infinite number of ways to do succession planning. The key to whatever way you choose is communication.
- Shaun Haney gave a great talk about Social Media and its uses. It was neat to see a lot of the older farmers in the crowd.
- The Bayer CropScience Hall of Fame Party was a great time.
- Had an excellent chat with Earl Greenough with AgroTain International. He has some interesting results for what AgroTain can do for you.
- We are really looking forward to hearing from Catrina Le May Doan tonight at the Monsanto Banquet.
Time to get ready to go to more sessions!
