Launching!
My background in media includes helping launch trade magazines and custom publishing (content marketing in today’s lingo) products. Doing the research, figuring out what the audiences wanted, then getting involved in creating a new product was always exciting. And still is!
In August, the launch of Feed & Grain Live culminates with our inaugural event. There’s always the potential for a few headaches (maybe more than a few) when you’re creating something new, but it always gets my adrenaline going.
Stay Safe Out There
Bin entrapments and deaths on farms decreased last year, but it’s still a huge safety concern

We Still ‘Get It’
Feed & Grain continues to reach, connect and engage through old and new media alike
Burrito With A Side Of Pseudoscience
Restaurants are in the business of providing foods that people like to eat. And people certainly should have a wide range of options and choices for meals. Still, I can’t help but think the recent decision by Chipotle to move away from using genetically modified organisms is more marketing than science.
