The purpose of these changes is to focus more resources to support the football team. Our goal as an organization is to improve each and every day. These changes reflect that goal and stay true to our long-term vision for the football club and our fans, namely to achieve excellence in everything we do.

We are thrilled to work with Roche Diagnostics and to deliver this much-needed integration module for this important critical trial. By integrating our proven technology with Roche's innovative diabetes management products, we are enabling clinical trial sponsors to conduct more efficient research and advance their development of effective treatments for the millions of people living with diabetes today.

Via the Production Decision Aid site, producers can link to the best farm management information available including recent government and university reports and marketing specialist analysis.

This one-stop Web site will provide links to some of the best farm management information we could locate. This will be a dynamic page, with updates occurring as quickly as they can be identified.

The entire team really participated in the effort of putting this together.

All we're doing is serving as a portal. It's a one-stop shop that you can go to and find all of the resources that farmers can go and look at. If you just look at materials for your own state, you may not be aware of what's going on in the states around you and this site provides a lot of the good information.
