Spuds, grapes and internet

This issue is the cause of a feverish work pace and early ad deadlines. The focus is on potatoes, particularly the Washington and Oregon Potato Conference held in Kennewick and put on by the Washington Potato Commission. Even though we try to cover all aspects of agriculture throughout the year our January issue is largely a big spud. But let's not forget January's Real Ag Show and the Washington Hay Expo held the earlier in January. These are two great trade shows and conferences held in Tri-Cities and managed by Ag Management, Inc. in Kennewick. You'll also see a lot of information about the Washington Association of Wine Grape Growers' trade show that takes place in early February. Every event offers sales and networking opportunities. A great quote I heard once was "if everybody is going to eat, somebody has to sell" Whether looking for new products to improve what you do, or selling products you produce, everybody is in the sales business. Each trade show, conference and convention offers opportunities.
