It’s been a busy week. I have been catching up on my blog feed before heading to the gym. This is what I found: This month’s Pennsylvania State Agriculture Law Brief has updates on the G-20 Action Plan, Hydraulic Fracturing, and the White House Rural Council. I excitedly received a Google+ invite this week from a respected family law …

I spoke to Cornell University‘s Sigma Alpha Mu agriculture sorority group tonight via Skype and it got me in the video blogging mood.
