I like all of the 30's fabric but especially like the "sew cherries." Would love to make a couple of throws to snuggle under.

I forgot to tell you that I already have your blog on my sidebar - does that count instead of the email subscription?
I am DYING to get some fabric over here (Germany, with the US Army) and just seeing yours makes me drool. I'm thinking that my favorite is the sew cherry main with the white background. Just seems clean and bright with spring on it's way.
Oops, forgot to add that I became a follower and subscriber via email.

Kelleigh Bannen, 'Sorry on the Rocks' – Song Review
Kelleigh Bannen's scorn is anything but manufactured on her debut single 'Sorry on the Rocks.' The country newcomer — who signed to EMI Nashville barely two months ago — introduces herself to country music fans as a strong female artist willing to take no mistreatment.
Bannen's deep voice exaggerates her presence while supporting the message she's preaching. While she lists Dolly Parton, Martina McBride and the Dixie Chicks as influences, a more accurate comparison would be to Terri Clark.
"And you only say I'm sorry on the rocks / You've been drinking all night and now you wanna talk / Well you know your shaken or stirred love / Is makin' it worse cause / I'm sorry on the rocks / Just ain't good enough," Bannen sings during the chorus of the nearly four minute-long midtempo cut.
'Sorry on the Rocks' isn't a song that will make this hardworking singer-songwriter a household name. Vanilla production holds back a story that's a clever twist on a familiar theme. Bannen's voice will stand out on current country radio, however, as there are few active artists who work so comfortably in low ranges.
"I'm too tired and you're too drunk / To keep on diggin' up the past / And a thousand pretty words ain't gonna mean that much / Comin' from the bottom of a glass / Well you're talking way loud / There's too much noise in the background / I think we're breaking up now," she adds during the second verse.
While many new artists mire in development for years before releasing their debut, Bannen's career was expedited. She's toured radio and sent 'Sorry on the Rocks' for airplay in less than two months. While she's working on her new album, it may take another single to make sure fans know her name before they'll be willing to drop the $12 at iTunes.

Mac Gamers, Your 7-Year Wait For 'Quake 4′ Is Over
If you're really into computer gaming, odds are you don't use a Mac. Big-budget game publishers have such a history of neglecting the platform that Mac gamers have gotten used to the abuse and gleefully accept any crumb tossed their way. The latest of these is the all-but-forgotten fragfest Quake 4.
The 2005 game, which seemed dated even when it was released, is now available to MacDaddies for the head-scratchingly high price of $19.99. That's about a penny for every broken dream Mac gamers have had crushed since Quake 4′s heyday.
To get the game, head to the Mac App Store or GameAgent. Even better advice: Go another seven years without it.

The Concept and Measurement of Human Development as Participatory Process
The report focused on introducing the concept and measurements in addition to an assessment of the status of human development in Egypt. It gave some guidelines on how the concept of HD can be operationalized in Egypt. The Report attempted to explain the low level of HD in Egypt and to find solutions that could improve its position. It further went to measuring and analyzing the intra/inter governorate disparities and gender gaps. Initially, the Report linked the human development approach to other development strategies. It noted that the concept advocates a new way of thinking, with a development strategy that is more comprehensive and more humanitarian than ever before. One of the important contribution of this Report was the study of the regional disparities in Egypt. The most important conclusion is that rapid economic growth can be accompanied with modest HD and vice versa. Also, the experience of Egypt compared with some other countries that had the same level of HD, thirty years ago, shows that Egypt has fallen behind.

Dry Incubation By: Bill Worrell
As a student of poultry at age 14, I became fascinated with the breeding and hatching of eggs. Even when I only raised mixed breed chickens and ducks I was always trying to find ways to incubate eggs. I started my poultry hobby with a few Araucanas and a few White Jersey Giant hens. My challenge became to find a way to get them to become broody. I never did. So I started trying to figure out how to make an incubator. I tried everything you can think of and nothing seemed to work. A few months later an old friend of mine told me he had an old redwood incubator that hadn't been used for 15 years or longer. I asked what he wanted for it. He replied that he'd like to have my car stereo. So I went out to the car and took it out and swapped it even. Man what a deal I thought. This thing was huge to me. It was 4 feet long, 2 feet wide and 3 feet tall. It had no egg turner and it had a water pan that had more holes in it than a sifter. I brought it home on my dad's old pick-up truck and cleaned it up. I plugged it in and decided it would probably need some work before I trusted it enough to leave it alone, much less hatch in it. Well, to make a long story short, I did fix it up and got it working. Then placed it in my bedroom, much to my parents' dismay. Man I was in the hatchery business.
I hatched every egg I could find. Tried everything imaginable from ducks to geese, from chickens to guineas, from quail to wild turkeys. I had some success but mostly failure. I had no understanding of how a bird develops in the egg, knew nothing about humidity, heck I didn't even know about turning eggs in the incubator. I just knew it was fun to see baby chicks come out of the shell. Still today it is what I love most about the hobby.
The next year I added my first foam Hova-Bator from GQF. Reading the directions I found out for the first time about how to add water and the importance of turning eggs. For the first time I had a thermometer and I learned what a thermostat wafer was. Boy was I excited.
I started to incubate in conventional ways of adding water and turning the eggs, keeping the temperature at 99.5 degrees, and candling with a flashlight. I had good success but never hatched better than 60% and that was on rare occasions. Still I thought that was great. I had a few friends bring their eggs to me and ask me to hatch them. So I started a little enterprise at age 15 doing custom hatching for $1.00 per dozen. That first year with my new incubator and my old redwood incubator I incubated over 750 eggs. But all along I never realized how these hatcheries got 90-95% hatches. That was until a few years later.
I met an older gentleman who asked me how I was hatching my eggs. I told him this story and explained that I could never get the hatch rate above 60%. He then replied, "Have you ever tried incubating dry?" I said I hadn't. Then he explained what I am about to tell you. He said, "Bill, you need to stop adding water to your incubator. Those foam incubators are real bad to drown the chicks inside the egg." I said to myself, yeah right. That doesn't sound like any way of incubating I ever heard of. But I listened. This man changed my incubation practices forever. I took the info he gave me and experimented with it. And soon my hatch rate went to 70%, then 80%, then 90% and has even been 100% on several occasions. I now use it exclusively in my foam incubators. I will add just a teaspoon of water on occasions when the humidity is real low here, especially in the winter time. In our new 1202's we will add 1/4 inch of water in the pan but we cover half of the pan with foil to cut back the water surface and we leave the vents open all the way, even the bottom one's. We have found that the humidity will stay around 40% inside the 1202's when we do this. Then about every 3-4 days we add another 1/4 inch of water. The water wont last for 4 days but we like to dry the bator down totally for about 12-18 hours before we add any more water. When the 1202 is out of water it will still register 25% humidity or there abouts. We have only had 1202's for a short time so we are still experimenting with them a bit.
I now incubate fewer eggs each year and have more chicks that I did when I was incubating several hundred each year for myself, though most of what I hatch today is for other people. At one time I was hatching over 1,000 eggs per month and sometimes 1,000 per week for other people. So this is not theory. I still use it today and will never go back. Here is how it works:
First, you have to remember a few things. An egg must lose approximately 11% to 14% of its weight during the incubation cycle. That is, it has to have some evaporation of the contents of the egg itself in order for the chick to have room inside of the egg to develop and still have room to turn in the egg so it can spin around and pip the shell. Where most folks go wrong is they add water to often or they add too much to the incubator and cause the humidity to increase to levels that slow or stop the evaporation process. This causes the chick to grow too large inside the egg. The chick will pip the shell on day 21 and never go any farther. Or they wont pip at all because they puncture the internal membrane of the egg and there they are met with a gush of water, causing them to drown. Have you ever wondered why this happens? I sure did.
Second, the closer you can get to the proper temperature and keep it there the better. That is, keep your incubator in a room that the temperature doesn't fluctuate drastically. My old redwood incubator will hold heat in a room where the temp doesn't fluctuate more than 20 degrees. My Hova-Bators aren't near that good. Even our new 1202's will not hold temperature real well if the room changes temperature often. They need to be in an area where the temp is close to the same within 10 degrees or so. I recommend that placement be in a room that doesn't get direct sunlight in any windows. If you have central air or heat, you can leave the doors open and the vents open. This will make the whole house one constant temp.
Lastly, start with good eggs. I never set odd shaped eggs or eggs that are too large or too small. They must have good shell quality and be from healthy birds. I recommend you feed a well balanced diet to your birds including Kelp, and D.E. as a de-wormer. I also recommend that you supply dried garlic to help with overall health and to boost the immune system. I also would advise you to gather eggs often in extreme weather and store them in an environment that is around 40-50% humidity and also the temp is below 70 degrees.
And finally, set your eggs each week or 10 days maximum. I usually set mine every week on Sunday's or Wednesday's. We think that if Sunday or Wednesday rolls around and we don't have to stop eggs from turning or eggs aren't hatching or being put into the incubator, we don't have anything to do. This is what works for us.
Now that you have your room set up, I would plug in the incubator and add no water. Allow the incubator to stabilize for a minimum of 48 hours to be sure it is at 99.5 for forced air (fan installed) or 101 for still air (no fan). While it is stabilizing, get a room hygrometer (instrument that measures humidity) and place it in the room. Bring the humidity level in the room up to between 50%-75% preferably 50%. If you live in a humid environment, you may actually need to dehumidify your room. But nevertheless, if you keep the humidity at 50% or close to it, you will do great. By controlling the room humidity, you can be more precise with your moisture in the incubator especially the foam incubator's. Since your incubator gets its air from the room, it will have some humidity. You may on the 1202's, have to add a small amount of water as they tend to run a little drier than some incubators. If the humidity in the room drops to 40% don't get concerned. The eggs themselves will supply some of the humidity needed inside the foam incubator's. They will also supply some humidity in the 1202's but not near as much with 1 tray full of eggs as they will if the 1202 is completely full. Higher humidity is worse that lower humidity as higher humidity hinders evaporation.
By the way, if you are using a foam incubator, make sure the red plugs are not in the vent holes. I have been trying it both ways for a long time and I have recently came to the conclusion that if you take the vent plugs out, the room humidity will work a little better inside the incubator. In the 1202's we leave all the vents open, including the top and bottom vents.
After 48 hours of stable temps in the incubator and stable humidity in the room, you are ready to place eggs in the incubator. I use turners as they allow me to incubate the eggs without having to open it up 2 or 3 times a day. Place your eggs in a turner with the big end up. Close the incubator and forget about it for 7 days.
For foam incubators: On day 7, open the incubator and candle your eggs with a good candler. Throw away all the clear eggs as they will soon rot and could explode inside the incubator causing loss of the healthy eggs. Be very gentle when handling these eggs, as the tiny embryos are very fragile at this stage in incubation. After the first candling, close the incubator and forget it for another 7 days. Also while you have the incubator opened, check the humidity inside the incubator. In foam incubators, add a teaspoon or two of water if the humidity is real low. Low being 25%.
For 1202's: Open the bator every 4 days or so and add 1/4 inch of water to the pan. I have found that small bantam eggs do much better with a little moisture so if we have bantam eggs in the incubator, we make sure the humidity stays at or about 40%. We always let our 1202's dry down for about 12-18 hours before adding more water. We think this is the best method according to our hatches. On large fowl eggs we have found that the lower humidity levels, say 25% are fine for them for 24-36 hours.
For foam Incubators: On day 14, open the incubator and candle the eggs again with your candler. Look for a real dark mass inside the egg and a small clear cell at the big end of the egg. This is the air cell. This is where the chick pokes through first to get its first breath of air. If you were using the conventional means of incubation and had the humidity too high for these 14 days, your chick might encounter a good amount of water here. This could and often does drown your new chick before it even has a chance to pip the shell. We recommend that you watch the air cells real close. If too large or growing to fast, you need just a little humidity. If they are no bigger than when you started, then you need to decrease the humidity. If you see any eggs with large amounts of clear spots in them, compare them to the others and if they are very different, discard the eggs that have big clear patches.
These embryos may have died for various reasons while developing. After you candle them, put the lid back on the incubator and forget about it until day 18.
For 1202's: You should keep and eye on the humidity in these every 4 days or so and candle on the 7th, 14th and 18th days. Watch the air cells closely as they are the best indicator of too dry or too wet.
For foam incubators: On day 18, open the incubator and add a very small amount of water to one of the water channels in the bottom of the incubator. If you notice the humidity in the incubator is above 65% add only a tablespoon of water or two. If your incubator humidity is below 65% add about ½ of the channel full of water. Remove the eggs from the turner and lay them flat on their sides. Try to allow a little room between them. Then close the incubator. Place the vent plug that doesn't have the metal inside it back into the bator. You know the one that opens directly into the inside of the bator? Leave the one that has the metal inside of it out of the hole for now. Now, follow the next direction very closely.
Hate to shout at you but this last 5 days will make or break your hatch. I get a little aggravated when people will go through all the previous steps and then it gets down to the moment, and they can't resist opening the incubator. Every time you open the incubator, you release valuable moisture out of the incubator and allow dry air in. This is what causes chicks to stick to their shell membranes. All you will have to do is lose a few chicks to this and you will change your habits. This means don't open the incubator until day 23. I do recommend that on day 20, you place the last vent plug back into the bator. This will allow the moisture to stay inside the bator for the last day and while the chicks are hatching. When the first chick hatches, you will notice that the windows in the foam incubators will form a lot of condensation of them. If this condensation is covering nearly the entire window, remove the vent plug that covers the hole with the metal in it and turn it upside down and place it directly over the hole you just took it out of. This will allow a little bit of moisture to escape. In an hour or so, you will be able to see inside the window again. If it doesn't dry the window a little, then slide it away from the hole just a tiny bit. Then check it again in about 1 hour.
On day 23 the chicks will be ready to take out of the incubator and placed in the brooder area. Make sure you have water ready and chick starter in low feeders ready for them in the brooder box. When you take a chick out of the incubator, dunk his beak in the water and make sure he gets a drink. Do this for all of them.
Make sure they have a source of warmth, (i.e. a heat lamp, light bulb, brooder, etc).
I recommend you have 2 incubators (one for an incubator and one for a hatcher). This will help if you have several different hatch dates in one incubator. On day 18 place the eggs over into the hatcher incubator. Then add water and you're good to go.
We always have hatching incubators and incubating incubators. We fire up our old redwood incubator and then keep it at the proper humidity. Since we hatch weekly, we need the hatcher to be ready at all times. This also keeps the incubating incubators clean because no egg or chick mess is ever in there. We like to hatch at about 65-70% humidity in the redwood.
A final thought: We have used this method to hatch chickens for a long time here at Briarpatch. We have not tried it on water fowl, but we have used it on quail, turkeys, guineas and other type of dry land fowl with excellent success. We cannot guarantee that this method will work for you. Heck we don't even know how you operate your incubator's or what environment you use them in. Your climate will play an important role in how you modify this to meet your hatching needs. We recommend that you not be afraid to experiment a little with eggs that you can spare to learn how your incubator performs and how you perform. We get numerous emails during hatching season telling us they use this method with great success. We also get some that have no success. Before you incubate eggs that really mean something to you, try some eggs that don't mean so much to you and get them down pat before you jump in and start incubating eggs that you paid a lot of money for. We only want to help you succeed at incubation.

Fox News Correspondent Starnes: "The Liberal, Anti-South Media" Is "Trying To Crucify Paula Deen"
Blog ››› ››› ERIC HANANOKI
A Fox News correspondent is attacking "the liberal, anti-South media" for unfairly "trying to crucify Paula Deen" over her admission in a court deposition that she's used racial epithets.
Todd Starnes, who also hosts a Fox News Radio segment, wrote on his Facebook page that the "liberal, anti-South media is trying to crucify Paula Deen. They accuse her of using a derogatory word to describe a black person. Paula admitted she used the word -- back in the 1980s - when a black guy walked into the bank, stuck a gun in her face and ordered her to hand over the cash. The national media failed to mention that part of the story. I'll give credit to the Associated Press for telling the full story."
Starnes also defended Deen via Twitter, writing: "The mainstream media hates Paula Deen [...] I think it's because most of them don't eat meat."
Starnes' defense of Deen doesn't square with reports about Deen's deposition. The Huffington Post reported it "obtained a transcript of the deposition in question" and Deen is quoted as stating she "probably" used the word "in telling my husband" about the incident, and she is "sure" she's used it since then, "but it's been a very long time." She went on to say "my children and my brother object to that word being used in any cruel or mean behavior. As well as I do."
Deen also discussed planning a "really southern plantation wedding" and was asked if she used the n-word then:
Lawyer: Is there any possibility, in your mind, that you slipped and used the word "n--r"?
Deen: No, because that's not what these men were. They were professional black men doing a fabulous job.
She apologized today in an online video "to everybody for the wrong that I've done ... Inappropriate and hurtful language is totally, totally unacceptable."
In 2011, Starnes tweeted "Blacks riot at Burger King" and linked to a local news story about a cell phone camera capturing a brawl at a Panama City Beach Burger King. The story did not mention or discuss the race of the participants. The tweet was later deleted.

European Commission
Joint press release
Food and Agriculture Organisation
Brussels, 11 October 2012
FAO and EU join forces to fight hunger. Joint press release after the meeting of Commission President Barroso and FAO Director-General Graziano da Silva
Some 870 million people in the world are undernourished, and more than 2.5 million children die each year of malnutrition. Tackling this horrifying situation is a priority for the European Union and the Food and Agriculture Organisation.
Today, European Commission President José Manuel Barroso met in Brussels with the Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations, José Graziano da Silva. They agreed that the EU is a key strategic partner for the FAO and should play a full role in it. They discussed food security including development, resilience and nutrition policies, as well as global governance issues. On Wednesday, Mr Graziano da Silva also met Commissioner for Development Andris Piebalgs, Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development Dacian Cioloș and Commissioner for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Maria Damanaki.
President Barroso said: "I am very happy to receive Director-General Graziano da Silva here in Brussels today. We are partners in the fight against under-nutrition amongst the world's poorest and in the promotion of global food security. The EU is consistently the largest single source of voluntary funding to the FAO. For the European Commission, food security is a key priority: worldwide, the EU is already the largest donor of aid to fight food and nutrition insecurity and we will step up our efforts in the next Multiannual Financial Framework. The EU remains fully committed to the Millennium Development Goals and to achieving the development aid target of 0,7 % of gross national income by 2015. The European Union will continue to support the on-going FAO reform politically, operationally and financially."
Director-General Graziano da Silva stated: "The European Union is a valued partner of FAO. We are working together at the global and national levels to promote food security and sustainable agricultural development. The new hunger figures show that we are on track to meet the MDG target of halving the proportion of hungry people. But we need to look beyond that and aim for the total eradication of hunger, answering the Zero Hunger Challenge launched by the United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon at the Rio+20 Conference. With hunger, the only acceptable number is zero."
Mr Graziano da Silva and President Barroso said that governments and the national and international communities have an important role to play. They stressed the need to strengthen global governance mechanisms such as the Committee on World Food Security and the Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS), and noted that increased market transparency and coordination were helping avoid spikes in international food prices. Mr Graziano da Silva and President Barroso also reaffirmed FAO and EU's commitment to supporting nationally and regionally led efforts and actions to promote sustainable and inclusive growth and mitigate the impact of high food prices in local food security.
In his meetings with Commissioners Piebalgs, Cioloș and Damanaki, Mr Graziano da Silva discussed various issues of EU-FAO cooperation, including the 2014 International Year of Family Farming, as well as rural development, food price volatility, global governance of food security – which FAO wants strengthened – and the need to promote pro-poor long term economic growth, including the importance of resilience building, the creation of enabling environments for the productive sectors, support to small-scale production and the strengthening of social protection.
With a yearly investment of around 1 billion euro, the European Union is by far the largest donor in the world in the fight against food and nutrition insecurity.
The European Union is the largest single source of voluntary funding to FAO, contributing to over € 580 million since 2007. The EU closely cooperates with the FAO to deliver quality programmes throughout the world. Since taking up office on 1 January 2012, FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva has taken concrete steps to conclude FAO reform. The current transformational change aims to institutionally strengthen the organization to better deliver at the country level and focus the organization's work in five strategic objectives, at the same assuring best value for money. The European Union, who signed a Strategic Partnership Agreement with the FAO in September 2004, supports the FAO transformational change both politically and financially.
Agriculture, food and nutrition security are key priorities in the EU's reinforced development policy for the period up to 2020, its 'Agenda for Change', which places great emphasis on agriculture as an engine for growth in developing countries.
On 3 October 2012, the European Commission adopted a new Communication, "The EU Approach to Resilience: Learning from Food Security Crises", on helping vulnerable communities in crisis prone areas across the world build resilience to future shocks. Earlier in 2012, the European Commission launched two initiatives, the "Alliance Globale pour l'Initiative Résilience" (AGIR) and the "Supporting Horn of Africa Resilience" (SHARE) Partnerships, that aim to strengthening resilience and breaking the vicious cycle of humanitarian crises in the Sahel and the Horn of Africa regions respectively. Both initiatives will be used to learn from experience and to build upon for future interventions in addressing resilience to food crises.
The EU has also in place sustainability criteria for bio-fuels. These are designed to ensure that no valuable land is converted to produce bio-fuels.
In international fora like the G8 and G20, the EU has always been at the forefront in the area of food security. 2012 is the closing year of the successful G8 L'Aquila Food Security Initiative (AFSI) where the EU did very well on its commitments: not only did the EU make the largest pledge – close to USD 4 billion out of the total USD 22 billion, but it had met this pledge in merely 2 years.
The EU Food Facility, announced by President Barroso at the G8 Summit in Japan in 2008 in response to the crisis triggered by volatility of food prices, has helped to feed 50 million people in 50 countries around the world, through over 230 projects. Three years after the € 1 billion facility was established, 100% of the funds have been committed, with FAO implementing over € 230 million of the total funding.
During the 2012 Summit in Camp David (USA), G8 leaders including the EU agreed on launching the "New Alliance on Food and Nutrition Security" with African partners in order to lift 50 million Africans out of poverty over ten years. The EU has promised to strongly support the New Alliance and has already started to make good on its commitments. Apart from its efforts in the six pilot countries, which will exceed 1 billion US dollars by the end of 2013, the EU has pledged 125 million US dollars in support of the New Alliance's enabling actions.
To better address rising food prices and prevent future food crises, the G20 agreed on the Action Plan on Food Price Volatility and Agriculture, in the framework of which it launched the Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS, hosted by the FAO), which includes an Information Group and a Rapid Response Forum (RRF). The European Commission, representing the EU, actively participates in AMIS.

Week 14. Spring. What was spring like where and when you grew up? Describe not only the climate, but how the season influenced your activities, food choices, etc. Thank you to Amy over at We Tree for sponsoring this event.
Spring meant milder weather, the scent of lilacs, and the return of robins. In northern Illinois, we never planted before mid-May, since we could have snow and or frost that late. But come mid-May my dad would declare "Sit in the Mud Day" and we could start planting. Little did I realize he was really referring to "17 Mai" the Norwegian Independence Day. Our backyard was a true treasure in the spring. We had lilac bushes, a cherry tree, a pear tree, and a rhubarb patch. We also had tiger lilys that returned every year.
Spring also meant roller skates, bikes, jump rope, and playing jacks on the sidewalk. Hopscotch, Red Rover, Mother May I, and Red Light, Green Light were popular games.

With a prize package that includes a year's use of a new AGCO Gleaner combine or AGCO tractor, MarketMaxx 2007 is bigger and better than ever. You could be the winner of one of these or other big prizes just by taking a few minutes to sign up for the fun and educational game from The Corn and Soybean Digest.
To sign up, go to www.MarketMaxx.net, a Web site that can help you become a better corn or soybean marketer at a time when knowing when and how to price your crops can easily mean an extra $50 to $75/acre in returns.
This is the third year of the MarketMaxx game, which this year is sponsored by AGCO Gleaner, AGCO, Syngenta Crop Protection and Cargill Certified SolutionPro.
MarketMaxx 2007 players will each receive a simulated 100,000 bu. of corn and simulated 50,000 bu. of soybeans. Using Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) futures and options, forward contracts and other marketing tools, players can make trades daily from the time the contest begins January 2, 2007, through midnight October 31, 2007, when it ends.
At that time, participants who have sold their total allotted corn and soybeans at the highest average price will be the winners. The grand prize for the corn contest is one year's use of a Gleaner R5 or A5 series combine, not to exceed 100 combine separator hours. Grand prize in the soybean contest is one year's use of an AGCO RT or DT series tractor, not to exceed 250 tractor engine hours. The second-place prize for each category is a complete computer system plus software from Syngenta Crop Protection.
Only farmers 18 years of age or older are eligible to win. (A complete guide to MarketMaxx 2007 rules and regulations is available at www.MarketMaxx.net.)
The contest guides participants through writing their own MarketMaxx plan, or even a real-world marketing plan, then helps them follow moves of the three most recent CBOT corn and soybean trading months.
Players can go to www.MarketMaxx.net to make their trades through a secure user name/password system and measure how their trades stack up against leaders in the corn and soybean contests. The site is a good place to view market commentary on CBOT movements, local, regional and national price basis, and international trade that can impact corn and soybean prices.
Players also receive a biweekly MarketMaxx e-newsletter designed to keep them informed about game leaders, market movement, corn and soybean production and marketing news.
The goal of MarketMaxx 2007 is to help farmers improve their marketing skills by taking advantage of the many marketing tools available. If playing MarketMaxx can help a producer gain an extra $0.25 to $0.50/bu. on a 150 bu./acre corn crop, that's up to an extra $75/acre in added return. There are no guarantees that added income will result, but at least players should have a better idea of how to put together a good marketing plan, then follow it, depending on which way the market turns up or down.
Visit www.MarketMaxx.net today and get started on your journey to becoming a better marketer.
