    • Phil recommends writing an article for Feed Stuffs weekly publication covers all sectors of the industry
    • Andres to email group a conference paper as a starting point - cannot get too technical with this audience
    • Maybe an overall article or separate articles on SPADE, CART, ADAPT, etc. Start with an AgGateway article in general, then move to Precision Ag down the road, then CART, etc. Talk to Susan about it. Short articles to introduce AgGateway, PAC, SPADE, etc. in smaller chunks.
    • Summarize CART F2F meeting accomplishments - Jim writing a newsletter article on this already, maybe leverage
    • Ag Review - big publication would be good to get into. Phil can get contacts.
    • Next step: group provide feedback to Andres on paper he sent out on how this can be adapted for an article. Any start or ideas to send to Phil so that he can share on Thursday at Grain & Feed meeting. See page 11 in Andres' paper for CART specific content. Phil to review paper and send a note on his thoughts. Still need list of companies/people involved.
    • Reconvene at next Communication team meeting in 2 weeks
  • Core Documents press release and newsletter - wait until PAIL gets through standards and guidelines in order to point people to content on wiki.
