It's another late night at Commodity Classic, but before I turn in for the evening I wanted to share a few thoughts and highlights from this year's event.
-The weather committee gets an A+ for planning! I'm not having any trouble adjusting to temperatures in the 60's.
-The media room planners also get high marks this year. Our thanks for a much improved and smoother registration process, as well as a larger media room better equipped with ample internet connections. It has made coverage of the event much easier!
-Congratulations again to Rob Joslin of Sidney, Ohio who is presiding over the meetings here as ASA President. So many Buckeyes are making a difference in agriculture!
-Kudos to our friends at John Deere for once again bringing the hype and the crowds to their display! The unveiling of the much-anticipated Foose 4020 did not disappoint! You can check out all of the pictures by visiting ABN Radio's Facebook page and viewing the Commodity Classic photo album.
-Special thanks to Gene Hemphill and New Holland for this evening's media reception and welcome event for new NAFB Executive Director Mark Vail. We so appreciate the chance to get together with our fellow ag reporters, and especially loved the great room set-up and extra space this year.
-And, of course, our sincere appreciation to John Deere, Leist Mercantile, the Ohio Soybean Council and the Ohio Corn Growers Association for making our coverage of this year's event possible!
On that note, time for this farm broadcaster to call it a night as we have another busy day ahead at Commodity Classic!
