Why would this be interesting or relevant to agriculture?

If you don't wish to read about Ms. Jordan's trip then, simply don't read it. We don't need all your negative crap on here.

ms. jordan is the spokesperson for Monsanto.
She is the farmers BFF.
Industry wants to make her more personable so
Monsanto can sell more product. Its all about
perceptions and marketing.
I think its very clever and she has every right to
blog. Freedom of speech.

Ms. Jordan is a well known individual in the agriculture industry and is personally known by probably quite a few who read this site, including myself. She is a passionate advocate for our industry, so a friend to all of us because of that. I am interested in her posts from Sochi. I can't be there, so to get a "glimpse" through a colleagues eyes is interesting.
So, like Southpaw says, stuff it. Go read [URL="http://www.cpcml.ca/"]this website[/URL]. I'm sure it'll be more to your taste.

Oh, or how about sponsoring Cmdr Chris
Hadfield to speak at FarmTech. What a
travesty and manipulation eh chuckchuck.

Or how about $150,000 in grant money
distributed to 60 rural communities
applied for by farmers across Canada?
Pure evil at its worst.

There are some positives, but sometimes
you just have to look a slightly
different direction.

Just back from Sochi and read this thread. Interesting to hear people talking about me - good or bad. I went to Sochi on my own dime. This was a personal trip - not Monsanto related work. Monsanto didn't pay for any portion of the trip and I was not paid to write the blog. Yes, Monsanto is a sponsor of Team Jennifer Jones and has been since 2007. And yes, I am Monsanto's corporate spokesperson. But I went on this trip as a friend of the team and the family. I wrote the blog to share with Monsanto employees who wanted to hear about my experience. And Monsanto has a blog so I asked them if this would be a way to share my personal story. For those who read my blogs and shared with others, thank you. For those of you who enjoyed it great. I appreciated the feedback. It was a trip of a lifetime and I am very proud of the team and so thankful that I made the decision to go. And if it somehow showed that Monsanto people are human and actually "okay" people, then that's a bonus. I am probably a tad biased, but I think I am actually a pretty good person. I certainly don't see how me writing a personal blog about the 2014 Winter Olympic Games helps Monsanto sell products.
