Be sure to join us online tonight for a fast-paced chat focused on ag organizations…those people who help bring our industry together. Given the topic, it only made sense to have a number of organizations submit questions. Since your comments and interaction will help shape the discussion, these questions may or may not be asked in this order. We’ll go with the convo flow as interest focuses dialogue and time permits. Please note that we decided to leave all questions in Twitterspeak.
See you at 7 CDT!
