Sounds like a phone book for farmers only more. This is the FarmIndex Directory for Iowa, which was just recently released. It claims to provide complete statewide producer and crop information.
Prepared and published as a joint venture of NewCentury Marketing Services and Cole Information Services, the Iowa FarmIndex Directory includes crop and livestock allocations and volumes, organized by county and then by production volume.
“The Cole-NCMS FarmIndex Directory provides a vast amount of information about crop and livestock producers,” says Claus Thiles, President, NCMS. “The FarmIndex provides a clear connection for the Iowa agricultural community, from individual operator to multi-crop farm enterprises. If you want to talk to corn producers in a specific county, the FarmIndex tells you who they are, how much crop they grow, and how to contact them.” The new Iowa FarmIndex Directory is designed to provide a single information resource for research and marketing projects. More states will be available in the near future.
“We developed this FarmIndex Directory as an entirely new tool for the ag business professional,” explains Jim Eggleston, Vice President & Publisher, Cole Information Services. “By bringing these multiple sources of information into a single volume, we provide an easy way for businesses to connect with new customers.”
