There are 8 million of our generation called Baby Boomers in Canada and 80 million in the USA. We are the largest generation of children born and have influenced economics, education, government and the workplace since the late Forties. In fact, we saved the Harley Davidson Motorcycle Company because we bought so many of them. We will continue to influence as we age and with the first of our generation hitting 65 this year we need to know what lies ahead. Through this site I hope to share some ideas and information that can answer those questions. I welcome your comments and suggestions but will remove anything that is detrimental to my readership as a whole. Lets have fun with this site and get informed together. Thanks, Dave

I'm back
I've been away for a couple of days emceeing a two day show in Lloydminster called Cattleman's Corral, Crop Visions. It features an agricultural style trade show and a number of speakers on various topics of interest to the ag community. There's also a banquet where awards are handed out for champion grain seed producers. The entertainer for the evening was a fellow from Colorado by the name of Lloyd Mabrey, a singer and guitar player who entertained us with snippets of a wide range of songs and comedy that involved the entire audience. From old time rock and roll to blues, folk and country and a killer John Denver cover you definitely want to check him out. Here's one of his websites: http://lloydmabrey.com/ Check out his video below.

Ken & Marlene Hursh
One of our KeyNote speakers at the show was Kevin Hursh who is a communications consultant an agrologist and a farmer who spoke about determining what size does your operation have to be to be viable. He also shared a lot of information on the world ag products market and how it will affect producers going forward. He also does a daily ag report on a number of stations across the country but if you can't pick him up you can follow him on his website at www.hursh.ca

I'll have to resume my trip to Cyprus story tomorrow because I've been away for two days and I've got some catching up to do in the office. So until then, keep smiling and being friends with each other. Dave.
