Greetings From Indy

The end of October marks a big event in agriculture. Every year thousands of FFA members come together at the National FFA Convention. Even though Current Ag Concerns is not an FFA based project, we were still on-site to cover the events! I should also mention that we added a new host to the show, Carsen Mangelsen.

During our time in Indianapolis we had the chance to speak with professionals in the livestock industry from across multiple states. We discussed a wide range of topics from livestock judging to show supplies. One of the booths even did a live clipping demonstration on a heifer. It was also a great opportunity to set up future interviews for the podcast!

Speaking of interviews, CAC producers did a number of them while in Indy. The Big Show AM 600 contacted us and asked if we would speak with their representative. This was Carsen's first interview and a good initiation as he had less than 30 seconds to prepare. Lucky for him he can think on his feet! We were also featured on Ag News Daily with Mike Pearson and Delaney Howell. Delaney has been a big part in helping us get our show off the ground and we were excited to reconnect with her on their podcast.

Not all of the week was spent working. We spent a little time having fun and even took in a concert on Wednesday night. Overall it was a productive trip and we look forward to continuing our travels in January when we head to Denver to broadcast from the National Western Stock Show.
