A week on the road.

I just returned home from a week on the road. I traveled to Columbus Indiana early last week for the Heart of America Grazing Conference. We had a booth there at the trade show and I had opportunity to take in most of the speakers and presentations. Joel Salatin was the keynote speaker and was a pleasure to listen to as always. I met a lot of existing customers there as well as a lot of new ones. Some had heard of us and some had not. It was a good conference.
It ended on thursday afternoon and i opted to stay over as i had a long drive the next day. I drve thru Brown county Indiana coming and going, and regret that it was after daylight both times. It is an interesting and pretty area. Kind of a pocket of Ozarks amoungst the corn and soybean country. I much prefer the scenery of grasslands and forests over cornfields !
Friday I traveled to St Joe, Missouri for the Farm show there. I helped out Glenn Spencer of Jackson Seed & Farm Supply. Visited with a good group of people there.
My folks live not far from there so I got in a good visit with them on Friday and Saturday evenings. I bunked over and partook of some of moms cooking. Had a great meatloaf on saturday evening. Got a little skiff of snow on Sunday morning, so i decided to hit the road and head home. Its about a 5 hour drive.
Was very happy to get home and see my family. We are resting and loafing around this afternoon.
