Record Number of Visitors To AgWired

Chuck Zimmerman

I’ve had 3 meetings in 3 different cities today but that doesn’t mean you don’t get a post from me. It may be the only one you get from me today though since it’s late, we’re going into a holiday weekend and I’m just plain whupped.

Here’s the big news though.

    In August AgWired had 10,368 unique visitors.

Yep. We broke the 10K mark and that’s a milestone. Our highest month before that was June with less than 7,000. So we must be doing something right.
