Hello AgWired fans. We’re in the process of moving to new servers. This is a bigger challenge than I thought it would be but we’re working through it. So far the only glitch is losing the last 3 posts I did last night.
This should all be completed within the next day or two. I’m only letting you know in case something else happens that would affect your viewing of the site.
The North Dakota Grain Growers Association has a new website. Very nicely done.
If you’re in the dairy business and have seen The Matrix then I hope you’ve got a sense of humor. This is funny. Actually it’s really a sad waste of misguided talent. It’s a Matrix film spoof to blast corporate farming called The Meatrix II. I never heard of it before but the group doing this claims the first one’s been downloaded over 10 million times and they’ve won awards for it. They are short animated movies.
First, Truth About Trade has a podcast series going. I guess we didn’t get the release but they’ve got about 13 episodes done it looks like. I just subscribed and will listen while I’m on the road tomorrow.
I really like the explosion of web apps we’re seeing in agriculture today. Farm Journal Media just announced their AgWeb Search engine and I tried it out right away.
This past weekend we unveiled the new skin for Domestic Fuel, our alternative fuels website. Check it out. We’d love to know what you think. We switched to a 3-column blog format to allow us more opportunities for advertising and promotions and to make navigation easier.
You can get a ZimmComm blog network update on this week’s ZimmCast. I review some of the highlights of the past week on AgWired, Domestic Fuel and World Dairy Diary.
The Avian Flu crisis is a big wild card in the pricing of all meats says Jim Long, Pork Commentator. Much of the major mediums are giving it lots of attention. Time Magazine, USA Today, etc, are intensely discussing the challenges of Avian Flu.
