We really are in the space age. Ag producers, whether you like it or not, you have entered a computer world that is as close as your shirt pocket and as vital as your shirt. Listen to a conversation I had with Anthony Transou, an Internet marketing manager. "We have also added other capabilities for market information, commodity prices as well as the latest news as part of the agricultural industry. We know one of the reasons that we wanted to do this is because of the increase in the use of mobile technology. An example of that is by 2014, mobile Internet will excede the laptop usage so we thought that it was important for us to provide this kind of information to be available to farmers when they are out in the field. They need this information in a timely manner. So I am a farmer out in my combine and all I have to do is use my android or my iPhone and get all of the critical information in agriculture that I need, correct? Yes. If you personalize the site by giving it a zip code the information is tailored to your preferences so you can configure it to the information that you want to see, money prices news and weather that are pertinent to your zip code."
