Extension Work and Twitter

Twitter is a huge deal in communication for 2010. Extension will have to keep up or be left behind. Southeast Farm Press Article

I posted some pictures at my Flickr account:

(I think that Ben's (formal) football picture is one of the best pictures he has ever taken. At least in the last few years!)

I also did finally get some new videos posted on my YouTube account. (See the previous blog below.)
