New AgWired sponsor AgHaven is now ready for anyone in the agricultural industry to sign up. You can create a free account and use their one of a kind search engine or get social with their built in social networking tools.

This morning I spoke with Srik Soogoor, President (pictured left), who gave me some background on how the idea for AgHaven came about and the process he’s gone through to bring it to fruition. He says that about a year and half ago they developed a search engine for agriculture because there wasn’t one that provided dedicated ag search results. That search engine is available in AgHaven.com. But that’s not all you’ll find there. They decided to expand the project to include a social networking community and a marketplace where you can buy and sell products and services. Anyone can get started by creating a free profile. Let’s say you want to sell products. Once you’ve created your profile AgHaven allows you to easily start your own “store.” AgHaven also accepts advertising and that can be tied to search engine results as well as with video. Srik says they’re also in discussion with a number of ag media organizations about syndicating ag news content.

AgHaven has been in “beta” mode and I’ve been a beta tester. They’re still looking for comments and feedback so please feel free to let them know what you think.
