Hello Joe, and welcome to the group.
Feel free to join in the discussions, we would all love to hear from you.
Do you garden, keep live stock or have other Ag-Eq interests?

> Hello Everyone,I am new to the group and have never posted before. Your
> question about how many people actually follow this conversation prompted me
> to let you know there are probably others like me who do read the posts but
> don't often post anything. To be honest, I'm not very computer savy yet and
> am not real sure how all this works, but I am learning. I do enjoy reading
> some of the conversations and hope to learn more as I become more familiar
> with everyone. I found out about this grou7p at the National Convention in
> Dallas last year and have been following the conversations since then.
> Please keep it going! Joe
