(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 21, 2007 ) San Angelo, TX - Author and rural marketing expert Ellie Winslow will be one of the guest speakers at the annual American Emu Association convention, held this July in Missoula, MT. “First Principles of Marketing for the Rural Entrepreneur” is scheduled for 10:30 AM on Friday, July 6, 2007. Winslow will discuss how to effectively adapt and apply the concepts and tools used in traditional urban businesses effectively to the farm-to-finish enterprise.

“We are delighted to have someone with Ms. Winslow’s expertise address our members,” stated Clover Quinn, Montana Emu Association President. “We are looking forward to her presentation.” The emu industry is currently farm-to-finish. The emu producer must arrange for processing of the bird and then the sale of the raw or finished co-products produced by the emu.

Winslow will be autographing copies of her latest book from noon to 2:00 PM in the atrium of the Holiday Inn Parkside in Missoula, MT. Winslow’s book, “Marketing Farm Products: And How To Thrive Beyond The Sidewalk” helps the farm to finish rural entrepreneur take a positive, proactive approach to earning a living on small acreage. The book shows small farmers and homesteaders step by step how to improve their livestock, produce and craft businesses by applying tried and true business and marketing strategies.

Winslow is also the author of “Making Money With Goats,” “Living Beyond the Sidewalk: And How To Thrive There” and “Stories From Beyond the Sidewalk.”
