Cotton Rohrscheib

I've been an entrepreneur my entire life and have been blessed to have been associated with hundreds of startups and projects throughout my career. A few years ago I started offloading many of my business interests to spend more time w/ my family and retool my focus toward the agricultural industry, ultimately I landed at Farmers Business Network, Inc. w/ a great team of people w/ shared mission / vision and the rest is history! I still operate my personal website & blog occasionally on topics of interest to me including; parenting, agriculture, technology, and whatever else comes my direction! My blog, cotton.buzz, is the product of over 20yrs worth of content, photos, podcasts, videos, etc., and all of the content I produce is mine personally, and only represent my views and/or opinions on topics and do not represent any of the businesses or associations I'm affiliated with.

How cool is that President Obama might actually get to keep his Blackberry after all? It appears that the Secret Service and IT staffers at the White House might approve of his using the exclusive Sectera Edge cell phone by General Dynamics. If you have never heard of this phone you can get a little […]

I remembered reading this at the time and didn’t think a whole lot about it but gave it some consideration because earlier that year I had […]
