I subscribe to Meatingplace.com, “The online home of POULTRY and MMT magazines,” and enjoy the daily list of news articles, some of which have become AgWired articles. They’ve just announced some major changes and new stuff that will be available to members starting next week. You might want to check it out if you’re interested in the meat business.
A suite of new online editorial features geared toward meat and poultry plant managers will debut on Meatingplace beginning Monday, Jan. 2.
A new Technical Articles section will feature practical tips for meat and poultry plant operators, written by the editors of Meatingplace.com, as well as outside experts. A fresh lineup of Technical Articles will appear each month and be previewed in the all-new print edition of Meatingplace, which replaces the former Meat Marketing & Technology magazine. The new feature articles also will be supported by a bi-weekly e-newsletter, called Processing Solutions, that will be sent to select members of Meatingplace.com. The first edition will be sent Jan. 2.
The second enhancement to Meatingplace’s online content is Supplier Showroom, an online collection of new plant equipment, supplies, services and vendor news. Readers will have the option of a one-click response mechanism to request additional information from suppliers about any given product or service. “This kind of interactive content is perfect for the Web. This significantly streamlines the process by putting interested buyers and sellers immediately in contact with one another,” said Gregerson.
As with the new technical feature articles, Supplier Showroom items will be previewed each month in Meatingplace in print. Likewise, a dedicated e-newsletter, called Sourcing E-ssentals, will be sent on alternate Mondays beginning Jan. 9 to select members of Meatingplace.com.
