As you click open our site today you'll see quite a few changes. We've retooled our website, aimed at providing you information in an easier-to-read, and access, format. You're busy, and we want to be sure we're providing you the information you need as efficiently as possible.

For the website we've added a host of new functionality designed to make that experience better than ever. And we wanted to share those key features with you here so when you're online you know what we're offering and can take full advantage of those features. There are five major enhancements you'll notice online:

Read on any device. The site adjusts on the go as you switch between horizontal and vertical, tablet and phone, laptop and desktop. You will see virtually the same site and content regardless of how you access it with no drag on load times.

Bigger photos, useful galleries. You will see large, vivid images accompanying our stories and view photo galleries that are filled with even larger, nearly full-screen photographs taken by our reporter/photographers and contributors.

Expanded markets, weather information. The data display on our home pages is now larger and easier to read with even more market listings than before. We are now carrying localized cash grain bids. Of course, you will continue to get award-winning twice-daily market analysis from Bryce Knorr and Bob Burgdorfer to keep you ahead of the curve on the shifting business climate. The weather report is also easier to read with bold graphics and includes a one-step personalization using only your zipcode.

Registration offers added information. By registering on the site, you'll get access to our Ag Insights content with in-depth reporting. From educators to commercial expert sources, we provide you with an edge in developing your skills and abilities to turn a profit even when times are tough.

Simple navigation. On the top left you'll see a menu button (it's those three lines to the left of our brand logo). Just click on that button and you have a selection of our most popular sections. And as you finish one story, we serve up more content on related topics. No more returning to the home page to see what else we've posted, it'll come to you as you scroll through the story.

So check out the website to keep up with the latest online information, and thanks for reading.
