| Crawfish were everywhere in the south. We
had them at two consecutive dinners in Louisiana and here, where
Tiffany Tippen clowns around at Dauphin Island, AL. |
Mike Shutz, a associate professor of animal
science, was one of our instructors on the trip and a crawfish fan.

| The hospitality in the south was unbelievable.
People went out of their way to make us feel at home. At Dauphin
Island, AL, they hosted a cookout for us with hotdogs and hamburgers
and, of course, crawfish. |

| Katie Chodil made a friend with a dog at
the Circle E Farm in Fort Deposit, AL. |
At each stop, the host would get on the bus
and give us a brief description of what we were going to see at
that stop. Chuck Mardaris talked to us at the Circle E Farm where
he produces pecans as well as beef and poultry. |

| One of the great things about the trip is
getting a chance to meet agricultural leaders like Billy Powell,
the executive vice president of the Alabama Cattlemen's Association
in an informal setting. |
One of the guests on the tour was Caimei
Shao (left), an executive with the Well Hope Feed Co. in Beijing,
China. |
