This is great. There seem to be so few farm-related blogs yet. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Marianne. I’ve become something of an agriblogging evangelist. I just conducted a seminar on it for a group of argrimarketing people in St. Louis yesterday. My first blog is AgWired (www.agwired.com).
May I post a notice about your site? You keep up the good work too!
Thanks, I would love to have you post a notice about Northview Diary. I really enjoy the people I have me through it.
Thanks so much for the story about Northview Diary. I appreciate the mention.
