Is SkPulseCrDevBd IN a 'Conflict of Interest'???

While i accept the fact that the vantage of a critic
is one of pure principle, the message is still the
same: actions speak louder than words!

Hope to see you at the annual meeting!

So why not everyone pay their way to the meeting; or at least make an open offer to provide transportation and maybe lodging if this requires more than a day trip?

Maybe a few hundred dollars doesn't matter to directors of any organization; but I have yet to hear of anyone often forgoing every meal cost, mileage and day rate that is available..

At the very least provide internet live coverage of "our meeting" for those unable to attend; and opportunities for input as in done in "distance learning" opportunities.

Once again "Dead silence"


Or was that an echo...come to the meeting....run...run...run

Transportation and lodging for all the levy payers?
They wouldn't have to worry about budget
discussions then because it would all be spent on
the annual meeting? Give me a break.

C'mon say the same thing about that suggestion. Don't have enough money for those small costs? Or would that be too reasonable and open minded.

And tell me that the directors don't get all expenses paid

You've already got your breaks; the trouble being that you never give any consideration back.

It isn't "your" money and everyone should have the opportunity to get their contributions back.

End of story.

These meetings and the crop production show could be put on the internet for participation.

FOr the cost of admission they could send out a code you enter to participate.

And all the trade show booths could do the same thing. Have an internet trade show map, click on the booth you are interested in an it would give you the link to the company and the specials, or a live feed.

No going out in the cold on shitty highways. If I see something I could take my code and get admission to the physical show.

I would pay to do this on my computer rather than the gas money, hotels, restaurant and time wasted to go to a generic show every year.

I was looking at a bourgault drill last year, nine guys standing around and couldn't be bothered to explain the disk drill. Finally after getting someone's attention at the end they couldn't give a ballpark price, just said they were sold out. WTF the sense in showing up then?? Put a sold out sign up so guys can look next year and do the same on their web site.

That will come....hopefully sooner than we expect

And it will be a ne form of advertising; that in most cases will involve " no admission charge".

Good ideas.

Internet coverage, maybe called "webinaires" are already an established effective way to "telecast" sessions, meetings and speeches.

And many of you probably know how to make a "youTube" video of the next pulse grower meeting. Evidently it will never come from the pulse grower directors (for example)

I'd watch many of such sessions instead of travelling 350 miles one way in a blizzard.

I've always had the suspician that like every other organization seems to think; the less that gets out; the easier it will be to make decisions.

Good posts. An idea long past due. Too may
bloats on per diems in ag. A Utube presentation
for each motion. Farmers then have time to read
and think about their decision. And then vote on
the webpage. Would reduce checkoffs. Pars
