EDITOR'S NOTE — Agribusiness companies are embracing World Wide Web technology to establish or update Internet Web sites which provide information pertaining to a firm's products and services. While it would be next to impossible to list all ag-related Websites, the editors at Farm Press will periodically provide a general description of updates or new sites coming online to give our readers an idea of what might be found at a given location.
Examples follow.

  • www.mathewscompany.com — The Matthews Co. designed this site to offer useful product information to potential customers and provide service and reference materials important to current customers. For example, the Internet provides the opportunity to offer customers quick and easy access to simple grain drying set-up and operational questions, regardless of the time of day or day of the week.

  • www.quickfarm.com — QuickFarm, a South Carolina-based company, created this Web site to enable farmers to bid on and purchase farm inputs such as seed, fertilizer, herbicides and pesticides via a fully integrated online exchange.
