Hi Everyone,

We talked to several Agrivillers last night at the Welcome reception.

Thanks,

Poor timing, I registered but can’t be there as we are still doing field work.

Never should there be a open conference until after freeze up.

Thanks Joe, keep us posted.

Thanks guys.

We know there is no ideal timing...this was the best fit after talking to everyone.

We had around 300 people register and attend the conference.
The group was about 1/3 farmers, 1/3 agronomists and retailers and 1/3 Ag business and tech people.

It was a terrific event...Thanks to the speakers, sponsors, exhibitors and attendees...it was a lot of fun.

Hi CaseIH,

I am not sure about the Crop Production show in Saskatoon this year...that is something to look into.

Lots of good photos and information on [URL="http://www.twitter.com/agriville"]www.Twitter.com/Agriville[/URL]

I just got home last night and need some sleep....the Western Canada hospitality was wonderful, our visitors from the USA and Eastern Canada were overwhelmed by the friendliness from other attendees at the conference, as well as hotel staff and others we came in contact with. The Farmers on the farmer panel impressed everyone with how they are figuring out how the new technologies can help them save or make more money and might help them in the future.

I also enjoyed hearing how much people enjoy visiting Agriville.com

Thanks to everyone that attended, speakers, sponsors, exhibitors, farmers, agronomists, retailers and ag businesses....I love talking agriculture, farming and innovation.

Here is a photo of my welcome...I don't wear a tie and jacket often but for this important group...I did.
