Oprah's Challenge

I thought this was a very interesting article!
I watched the episode last night and was very proud of Cargill's presentation of their processing plant! I thought they answered every question and concern very well!
Here was someone else's opinion:

Growing for Market session

Some of you may have already heard the Growing for Market session scheduled for tonight has been cancelled. Unfortunately the speakers are unable to make it to the meeting site in Hancock county, as there is pretty severe weather up North! I suppose the internet can't always solve this problem! :) The program will continue as scheduled next week, Wednesday at 6:30 in the Dryden room at the new extension office. AS for this week, I am still waiting to hear from the speakers as to when they will reschedule! Stay tuned for that update.
