Guys,

The Sacramento club is not overly impacted with social crowding issues. It's a case of salemanship. That's the way it was sold so that's the way it stays. The dairy farmers can be a hard breed to converse with, but having done a lot of that I can say they aren't all that bad. Just recognize they are always tired and approach accordingly.

The AMA will be quite difficult to obtain information from if my past experiences with them are any indication. You'll have to pull teeth every inch of the way. I'd start with the flying site assistance group and plan to immediately move up the food chain if you run into resistance. You probably will.

As for the cows, there have been a great many studies that illustrate how farm animals, and imported Australian pests like Ostrich, quickly adjust to flights over head and the related noise if its done on a frequent basis. So perform the due diligence and make the presentation. Offer something up if you want to get something. Quid pro quo always helps.
