I'm very happy to read your blog. I hope you remember me, an exchange student from Fiji at University of Guelph in 2001. Now i live in New Zealand and currently completing my PhD thesis from AUT University. My topic is: Enhancing the linkages between tourism and agriculture sectors in South Pacific SIDS: a case of Niue. I was wondering if you would be happy to be an examiner for my thesis? I will be submitting my thesis next month and if you are ok to be one of my examiners, then please let me know and i will suggest your name to my supervisor. I really hope to hear from you. I emailed you a few times but i didn't get a reply so maybe i'm thinking that you didn't get them. God bless and cheers, My pleasure to hear your blog. Evangeline Hello Owen,

We represent a chemical technology new to North America but initially commercialized in Belgium. It's stabilized hydrogen peroxide. Now many farmers already know the benefits of hydrogen peroxide, including the zero footprint it has on the environment but the use of peroxide has been limited as a disinfectant due to it overeactivity, limiting its efficasy, generally making it a poor sanitizer. Our peroxide is stabilized by a minute amount of silver, it makes the peroxide much much more effective. We are wanting to educate and then further commercialize this amazing technology here in Canada and would like to talk with you. Please drop me a line when you get a chance.

I'm glad our efforts were helpful as you delve into social media. I have indeed heard of the Schmidt case. I've followed it with great interest. In fact, I'll be doing a CBC Commentary next week about the issue, on the Canadian Farm Business Management Council website. Have you seen this site? It's at http://www.farmcentre.com/Home.aspx. Good luck with your social media ventures, and let me know if I can offer any advice. Best regards, Owen Thanks for your kind words, Karlee.

I specifically liked the entry about raw milk... oh the never ending debate. Have you heard about the Schmidt case?

At the time I was working with the Rural Press Weekly (Stock & Land) in what I thought was a stop-gap posting on my way to another journalistic field and here I am now, a freelance agricultural journalist with 8 years of ag papers under my belt. I stumbled across your blog and would like to get in touch to pick your brain about ag journalism. Great work with the site, Stephen Cooke G’day Owen, It’s probably 10 years now since we met on the IFAJ tour to Australia.

That was an eye opener for us, and we are pretty smart shoppers/healthy eating aficianodos. I grow lots of veggies in my backyard and we do a fair amount of canning as well. Love that healthy food. So kudos to Chapmans, we will only be buying their ice cream from now on. Steve and Cathy Morris St. Jacobs, Ont.
