I say I went, what I actually did was sit in my kitchen and log on to a webinar event then listened to Barney while watching his slides.
No travelling, no overnight, I was able to have me dinner at the same time and it was possible to ask questions; brilliant!
My question which phased them a bit as it came from "the Ukraine" was; could Barney elaborate on the implications of applying nitrogen to winter wheat on to snow covered fields like they are currently doing here in Ukraine.
In a nutshell Barney said not a good idea.
Maybe I should do a webinar? Drop me a line if you think it's a good idea, if there is sufficient interest perhaps I could do an update from Ukraine.
Webinars; brilliant idea, crap name.
