Whether you are looking for information on raising chinchillas, the safety of genetically modified organisms or the latest John Deere equipment, eHarvest is the place to start.
Farmers have long been avid readers and researchers seeking information needed to improve productivity, efficiency, and environmental compatibility. The short form for "electronic harvest" is eHarvest.
The Internet site http://www.eharvest.com helps farmers organize their quest for useful information for their businesses.
Most Canadian farmers will want to bookmark eHarvest's Canadian page. It features some 26 categories of links. In total, over 6000 sites are accessible with information on topics ranging from machinery and hogs to aquaculture and precision farming.
Someone with agricultural experience has reviewed each web site. This assures greater relevancy and helps to create greater focus in searches.
Not surprisingly weather, markets, and current news stories of interest to farmers are featured. Someone in search of an agriculture-related career can view dozens of relevant Canadian positions, in addition to a long list of jobs in the US and submit his or her resume online.
It is interesting to surf the Chat and see where farmers have connected with one another on topics as diverse as where to find parts for a Minitaurus tractor, earthworms for sale, and the impact of school closings on rural communities.
The classified ad section of the site features a search engine that helps to quickly zero in on specific machinery or produce being sought.
If it's relevant to agriculture and it's on the 'Net, you'll find it through eHarvest.
