Farming the web up and running

Alberta Forage Industry Network — Thu, 20 Aug 2020 21:04:40 +0000

A virtual marketplace for farmers to buy and sell ag products and services online is now open for business.

Farming the Web, which is free to use, has six categories: Hay, straw and other feeds; salt and minerals; livestock and working animals; land for rent or lease; farm equipment; services and contracting; and other.

The website has a rating system that allows users to select “the most highly respected sellers,” said Alberta Forage Industry Network, which created the site.

It is a successor to the defunct government site Ropin’ the Web. A chat function is being developed and help is available at 403-819-1746 or info@farmingtheweb.ca.

Survey on forage production

Alberta Forage Industry Network — Wed, 13 Jun 2018 16:07:08 +0000

The Alberta Forage Industry Network is asking producers to help it get a better understanding of forage production in the province. In addition to asking about your general location, type of farm, and forage acreage, the questionnaire asks about forage varieties, their uses, and any plans for expanding or decreasing acreage.

The anonymous questionnaire takes 20 to 30 minutes to complete, and participants who complete the survey before the deadline (July 31) will be entered in a draw to win a $250 Visa Prepaid card. Results will be available early next year.

The questionnaire can be found at the Alberta Forage Industry Network website.
