Agriculture.com Turns 15

Chuck Zimmerman

Yesterday was the anniversary of Agriculture.com. I did not know that until Curt Blades sent along this image of the site from way back then. I can remember the Netscape browser.

It’s hard to believe the #1 community for farmers launched a decade and a half ago. When we went live, only 46% of farms had computers.

Our first measurement of internet access among farmers was in 1997 – and it showed 13.1% of farmers with some sort of internet access.

To put things in perspective – here is an image of the site from 15 years ago (note the Netscape browser).

It looks a little different today in my Firefox browser!
