Comments on: Monsanto Creates Farm Weather and News http://agwired.com/2009/01/06/monsanto-creates-farm-weather-and-news/ What's new in the world of agribusiness Fri, 19 Mar 2010 21:22:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Chuck http://agwired.com/2009/01/06/monsanto-creates-farm-weather-and-news/comment-page-1/#comment-55969 Chuck Wed, 07 Jan 2009 14:15:09 +0000 http://agwired.com/?p=9031#comment-55969 Hey Matt: Thanks for your thoughts. Good points. There are so many sources of information today, it's amazing. I'm trying to find out if this new information source will "go mobile" since I couldn't get it to open on my iPhone. In doing so I found the Weather Channel iPhone app (free) which I installed. It's way better than the one that comes with the phone. I travel extensively so weather is important to me for different reasons than farming. However, most farmers I know check multiple sources of weather. I guess there's now 1 more! From an agrimarketing standpoint I think Monsanto is trying something very innovative. Time will tell if it works for them. Hey Matt:

I personally prefer my local fox channel which constantly updates there equipment and are normally spot on with the report.
