03-01-13 *NCGA News of the Day* 2013 Commodity Classic General Session Offers Insight, Inspiration to a Packed House…
Posted by Brian Allmer on March 1, 2013
March 1st, 2013 – Tampa, FL - This morning, emcee Mark Mayfield once again welcomed Commodity Classic General Session attendees to the forum. The packed house listened intently as Mayfield led the program through a series of exciting presentations from sponsor Dow AgroSciences, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack and inspirational speaker Chad Hymas. Rounded out by a talk show-style panel during which the presidents of all four hosting associations, General Session 2013 provided insight into the broader political climate affecting farmers as well as inspirational messages to take into the upcoming planting season.
Mayfield opened the presidents' roundtable conducting brief interviews with each participant. Speaking withNational Corn Growers Association President Pam Johnson, Mayfield inquired first about the growing push for sustainability and what it means today for farmers.
"Sustainability for corn growers means that we continuously improve the way we grow corn," said Johnson, a farmer from Floyd, Iowa. "In our effort to improve, we need access to the best seed technology, genetics and agronomic practices. For us, sustainability is leaving the land in better shape for our kids and our grandkids."
Mayfield followed up by asking what Johnson believes will help shape a strong future for farmers.
"We have a great story to tell, but sadly we don't have that many farmers out there telling their story," she replied. "This is hurting us in D.C. with our policymakers and in our dialogue with consumers, who want to know who we are, what we do and that their food is safe."
Johnson called upon not only Commodity Classic attendees, but also on Americans across the country, to act now. Coming out of morning discussions with U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, she noted that the failure of Congress to pass a farm bill was only one small example of how inaction on the part of our legislators is impacting the country in major ways.
"If there is anything I can leave today with the audience, it is a call to action," said Johnson. "Everyone out there as an American and as a farmer needs to call their representatives in Congress. They need to say that we are mad as hell. We are sick of people pointing fingers and assigning blame. We aren't going to accept it anymore. You have to act responsibly, and you have to act now."
Mayfield then conducted similar interviews with American Soybean Association President Danny Murphy, National Association of Wheat Growers President Eric Youngren and National Sorghum Producers President Terry Swanson. Then, the conversation shifted to a more open format as the presidents discussed questions about the continued relevancy of agriculture. In addition to presenting their organization's thoughts on the issues, the discussion offered a glimpse into the many shared concerns and unique issues facing each group.
For the fourth consecutive year, Secretary Vilsack addressed attendees of Commodity Classic's General Session. He began by expressing his commitment to working with America's farmers.
"I want to start by expressing what every Secretary of Agriculture and all Americans should," said Sec. Vilsack. "Thank you for what you do, and what your families do, every single day. You not only produce enough food for all of our needs every single day, but you produce an abundance that enables us to export much of what you grow to feed the rest of the world and grow U.S. jobs."
Calling farmers both food providers and job creators, the Secretary noted how American farmers' willingness to embrace technology, advanced production practices and conservation techniques allows them to grow an abundance while acting as good stewards of the land and the water.
Next, he noted that most of the energy used across the country comes from rural America with more and more of this energy coming from the feed stock growers produce. This movement toward domestically-produced biofuels has helped reduce our nation's imports of foreign oil. He noted that upon entering his position the country imported 62 percent of its oil supply and now has been able to reduce that level to only 41 percent. He stated that, as this continues to drop steadily, rural America is making the entire nation stronger and more energy secure.
Acknowledging the drought of 2012, Sec. Vilsack outlined how the USDA will work to find ways to mitigate difficulties as the climate continues to warm. He then noted that, over the next year, the USDA will work toward initial steps to help agriculture deal with these challenges. In addition to initial steps, he affirmed that research into the possible challenges and ways to deal with them will continue into the foreseeable future.
The Secretary called on Congress to pass a five-year farm bill that helps build a safety net for farmers and provides support for the growing rural bioeconomy. As he did in prior speeches, he stressed the importance of forward-looking, comprehensive legislation in this area that helps continue the country's tradition of agricultural strength.
Finally, he noted that, before doing so, the Congress must pass a budget. Reminding the audience that the sequester will most probably go into effect later today, Sec. Vilsack described the ways in which these budget cuts must be implemented, how they will impact the USDA and how this will impact farmers.
As he concluded, Sec. Vilsack clarified earlier remarks about the relevance of rural America. He stressed that he is well aware of the important role that farmers play, but that shrinking populations have made farmers less of a voice in the federal government. Then, he stressed that by working together with those who want an economically secure, ecologically secure, energy secure country to fully realize the enormous opportunity in rural America.
General Session wrapped up on a positive note with the Chad Hymas, whose inspiring story pleased the crowd greatly.
National Corn Yield Contest Now Offers Yield-Increasing Tips
The National Corn Growers Association released a video today offering tops from perennial high-yield entrants of the National Corn Yield Contest during a breakfast at Commodity Classic honoring the state winners of the 2012 contest. The new video, which accompanies the traditional online NCYC Guide, offers farmers across the country a chance to apply the tips learned through the contest to their own operations to improve their yields and their bottom line.
To view the video, click here.
"The contest not only affords an opportunity for farmers to test their skill against their peers, it also provides NCGA with a significant amount of information about cutting-edge production practices that all farmers might find useful," said NCGA Grower Services Action Team Chair Brandon Hunnicutt. "NCGA has always looked for new and innovative ways to use this data, sharing the lessons learned with corn farmers. The video provides a quick, simple way for interested farmers to discover new ideas that might work for them."
The National Corn Yield Contest is in its 48th year and remains NCGA's most popular program for members. With 8,262 entries, the 2012 NCGA National Corn Yield Contest neared the participation record set last year of 8,425 entries.

The printed yield guide was published in the mid February edition of Progressive Farmer.

Happy Monday friends. It has been a week or so since I posted on here. While fashion amd style continues to remain an important influence in my daily existence, the time to get out there to take photos has been hard to make. I painted one of my fingers on each hand with sparkles for a wedding, however, it has been hard to remove the sparkly polish. So, I have been just changing the nail color on the other fingers for the last two weeks. Lavender was the shade last week which is when this photo was taken; I painted a summery coral yesterday.

EQ I.Q.: A Quick Primer
By Shure Notes Editors, Contributors: John Chevalier and John Mills In its simplest definition: Equalization involves selectively boosting or cutting bands of frequencies to improve the performance of a sound reinforcement system. Like many other audio technologies, EQ was born in telecommunications, where filters were used to restore and flatten all frequencies, so that response to all frequencies would be equal – hence the label "equalization". Hollywood came on board in the early 1930s with the emergency of 'talkies', but it wasn't until the late 1950s and early 1960s that Texas academics in the field …

Yet another reason to pay off credit cards
The bad news: He got laid off. The good news: It happened AFTER he'd cleared his consumer debt.
I feel very bad for Smithee, a staff writer for the Consumerism Commentary personal-finance blog. With no warning he was laid off from his job at a small Web design agency.
In a post called "Laid off, 2010 edition," Smithee wrote that the job loss was particularly frustrating because he had only recently -- and for the first time in his life -- managed to zero out his credit cards.
"I was just learning what it was like to walk around without worrying about paying all my bills on time," he lamented. "I was about to start seriously saving money and/or paying down loans faster than expected. I was going to be in a position to be more than a couple of months away from homelessness. I was stable, and I had plans."
Here's where I think Smithee errs in his thinking:
- He can probably still pay all his bills on time, as long as he makes a serious effort not to add to them.
- He probably can save money, if he's willing to work at it. It might be only a couple of dollars a week, but it's symbolic.
- He is not likely to become homeless. His wife has a job, and he has filed for unemployment benefits. Even though it may not be much depending on where he lives, it's something.
Smithee is panicking. If I were laid off I'd be panicking, too. But at least he's out of debt. Not only does that free up some "minimum payment" dollars from the budget, it's a giant weight off his stunned shoulders.
A little here, a little there
I'm always surprised to find out how many people I know carry credit card balances and feel perfectly OK about it. That is to say, they don't make it a priority to pay it off once and for all.
They don't adjust their spending. They don't even pack their own lunches. Instead, they continue to shop for new clothes, upgrade tech toys, take vacations, meet friends for dinner several nights a week.
Or they spend in constant, smaller ways. Mindless spending can kite your credit card balances faster than you can say "latte factor." In a previous post, Smithee had admitted that "insidious '$5 here, $30 there' behavior" kept his balances creeping upward even as he embarked on a pay-down plan.
- Bing: U.S. unemployment rates
I also hope he realizes that now that his consumer debt is gone, he needs to keep it gone -- especially if the unemployment lasts awhile.
'Weak moments'
In other words, no more $5 here/$30 there behavior. No more visits to Jack in the Box or Whataburger. No more iTunes downloads. No more weekend road trips to an out-of-town friend's birthday party.
Those were some of the expenses he mentioned in another post -- and all were incurred while he was carrying about $5,500 of debt. He explained it away with phrases like "weak moments" and "friendship isn't always logical."
I have the same weak moments. But I can afford them because I'm not in debt.
Yes, life is for living. But sometimes it just makes sense to scale back for a little while -- say, until you can pay cash or at least pay off the credit cards in full each month.
If you're carrying consumer debt while continuing to live the way you've always lived, put yourself in Smithee's place. He had no idea that a layoff was looming. What will you do if the first thing your supervisor says to you on Monday is "Clean out your desk"?
Here's one thing I bet you won't do: Feel happy to be carrying a credit card balance for meals you barely remember eating, clothes you rarely wear or technology that's now outdated.

There is no reason to refuse using material from citizen journalists, but of course as always standard journalistic procedures (fact-checking) should be followed, and we know that the BBC does follow the rules (no rule without exception). So instead of blaming the BBC we should take this case as a reminder.
Photo Business Forum :: "'orphaning' of photographs" - Fact-checking took a holiday at the BBC recently, as a credit line of "photo from activist" was used to identify propaganda promoting the activist's cause, on the front page of the BBC's website for an article titled "Syria massacre in Houla condemned as outrage grows." The problem? Among the many, is that this photograph, purported to have been taken on or about Friday, May 25th, 2012 in Houla, Syria, and represented in the photo caption as "believed to show the bodies of children...", was actually taken on May 27, 2003, 9 years earlier, in Al Musayyib, Iraq, by photographer Marco Di Lauro, a photojournalist for Reportage by Getty Images.

An investment made by a company or entity based in one country, into a company or entity based in another country. Foreign direct investments differ substantially from indirect investments such as portfolio flows, wherein overseas institutions invest in equities listed on a nation's stock exchange. Entities making direct investments typically have a significant degree of influence and control over the company into which the investment is made.

ASA Announces Extension of Digital Remit into Non-paid For Online Space
The ASA's jurisdiction is to be extended to encompass advertiser's marketing communications online which appear on the advertiser's own websites or other pages controlled by them (such as Facebook or other social networking pages).
On 1 March 2011, the UK Code of Non-broadcast Advertising, Sales Promotion and Direct Marketing (the CAP Code) will apply to "Advertisements and other marketing communications by or from companies, organisations or sole traders on their own websites, or in other non-paid-for space online under their control, that are directly connected with the supply or transfer of goods, services, opportunities and gifts, or which consist of direct solicitations of donations as part of their own fund-raising activities".
CAP's implementation document makes clear that the drafting of the new remit is framed so as to focus specifically upon material "which can be properly accepted as constituting an advertisement or other marketing communication" in recognition of the need to protect freedom of speech online and to distinguish between advertising and editorial or other material which is and will remain outside the ASA's jurisdiction.
CAP acknowledges that "Websites can include marketing communications and other types of communication including, for example, editorial, public relations e.g. press releases and investor relations material that must properly remain outside the remit of the CAP Code and, therefore, outside the jurisdiction of the ASA."
As well as excluding all editorial and pr content, material related to causes and ideas is also excluded from the new remit. User generated content will be subject to the Code only if it is adopted and incorporated by an advertiser into their marketing communications.
Advertisers now have 6 months to ensure that their own advertisements on their own websites conform with the Code, the revised version of which for both print and paid for online ads on third party space came into force on 1 September.
NS members who subscribe to the ad control service can also contact PERA advisers Atiqur Chowdhury and Ierena Pace for individual advice.
Full details can be found on the ASA's website.
For further information contact Sue Oake on 0207 632 7463 or e-mail email@example.com
The NS is the voice of Britain's local media, the UK's most trusted medium. It represents 1,100 newspapers, 1,700 websites and other print, digital and broadcast channels.

ZIP Codes - Key Concepts
- ZIP Codes are categories for grouping mailing addresses and are not exact geographic regions.
- The centroid of a ZIP Code may be in one County and the associated city/town in another.
- In rural areas, a single ZIP Code may be used for cities and towns in several different Counties.
- ZIP Code "areas" can overlap, be subsets of each other, or be artificial constructs with no geographic area.
- ZIP Codes are only loosely tied to cities.
1 Keeping the above key concepts in mind, what we informally refer to as the "center" of a ZIP Code is most often actually the centroid of a polygon.

Newly released figures from the Office of Travel & Tourism Industries (OTTI) have underlined the importance of China to inbound tourism growth in the US as visitor numbers to the country in January 2012 rose seven per cent to 4.5 million.
According to the OTTI, traveler numbers from China grew a whopping 60 per cent in January (when compared to the year before), dwarfing the next highest increases from Brazil (18 per cent), Canada, Germany (both 9 per cent) and Australia (8 per cent).
Notably, visitor numbers from the UK and France declined by four per cent.
With January registering the tenth straight month of increases in total visits to the US, the top inbound markets were Canada and Mexico, whose visitor numbers rose four per cent.
Meanwhile, the US Department of Commerce has revealed that a record US$10.1 billion was spent by international visitors on tourism-related activities in February, a 13 per cent rise on 2011 figures.
Year to date, US travel and tourism exports have grown more than 11 per cent in 2012.
"We have seen long-term growth in both arrivals and spending and hope to continue that trend with the focus provided by the Obama Administration on this growing sector," Commerce Under Secretary for International Trade Francisco Sanchez said.
"That is why we are making it even easier to visit America's most amazing places and working hard to tell folks about what an amazing place America is whether you travel five or 5,000 miles to get here."The good news for tourism comes just days before the US Travel Association kicks off its annual International Pow Wow convention, the largest event for generating travel to the US.

The US government adopt the idea of "Instead of What?"
Any new dollar of spending must come from cutting something else deemed less important. We would not put congress out of a job by saying they can no longer spend. Revenue would just need to come from within the vast resources already at their disposal. This way, confiscatory tax rates could stay the same.

The First Downs for Down Syndrome Foundation and the Chiefs linemen began their 20th season of partnership with the 16th Annual Huddle Time charity auction at Mestizo restaurant in Leawood, Kansas.
Since 1992, the Chiefs have helped First Downs for Down Syndrome raise over $1,000,000 for individuals with Down syndrome and their families. Guard Ryan Lilja, center Rodney Hudson, and other Chiefs players mingled with potential bidders and Chiefs fans at the event to raise that number even higher.
From www.kcchiefs.com (share this quote)
A spectacular catch or two or even a strong set of off-season practices won't mean Baldwin is the real thing. But it has to be encouraging for the Chiefs after his near-waste of a rookie season. The Chiefs have a long set of unresolved issues on offense as they plow through their off-season work and those at wide receiver are at or near the top of the list. Until Dwayne Bowe shows up, their margin for error at the receiver spots is basically non-existent. Without Bowe, they'll need the A-game of all of their wide outs and Baldwin in particular.
Coach Romeo Crennel said CB Stanford Routt is doing a good job acclimating himself to the Chiefs after spending seven seasons in Oakland. "He's trying to learn the system and I think some of his talent is beginning to show up now the more comfortable he gets with the guys around him," Crennel said. "He's beginning to understand our system and what we want done."
Bowe wants a long-term deal. Any player in the NFL does. It's a physical game and having the insurance of a long-term deal behind you eases a player's mind. The Chiefs didn't want to commit to a long-term deal yet, so they franchise tagged him. Sure, they have to pay him a top-five wide receiver salary, but only for one year. A one-year contract of any sort isn't going to break an NFL organization. Bowe wasn't happy with the franchise tag; so much so that he hasn't signed his franchise tag contract. Bowe is holding out, but has stated he will be in training camp. Hopefully, a deal that suits him wil be on the table before it comes time for pre-season games, which he can't play in without being under contract.
