Meet and Greet

Growing up, I was all too familiar with farm broadcasters. For instance, every morning before dropping me off at school my dad would say, "Have a profitable marketing day!"

I think it all started when I was a little girl. Basically, I loved to watch Orion Samuelson and Max Armstrong host t.v. broadcasts. In my world, they're the most famous of ag's broadcasting industry. I've met Orion twice now, and both times I've gotten goosebumps like I was meeting some A-list movie star in Hollywood! To me, Orion and Max ARE the A-listers!

So now you can see why I was so excited when Max Armstrong stopped by the Monsanto booth. He was there to interview Brett Begemann, executive vice president of global commercial. Lucky for me, we got to slip in and introduce ourselves before they began taping.

By the way, I'm hoping to sit down and talk to Brett before the weekend is over. Yet again, I'm reminded about the importance of networking by the many people I'm getting to rub elbows with down here!
