Baxter Black Entertains Again
Posted by Chuck – July 19th, 2008
In a highly applauded encore appearance, Baxter Black, entertained at the annual CBB Banquet that’s held here at the summer conference.
Baxter is the voice of Checkoff producer communications radio spots. He says it’s very important for producers to know what’s going on with their investment.
One observation he made when I spoke with him is how things get done here. He says it’s stunning to him that anything gets done. He was in some of the committee meetings and he says you hear all kinds of different opinions, sometimes arguing, but at the end of the day it seems like the best decision is made. Baxter also says that the Checkoff program is very important and needs to continue to be funded.
