Caffeine - http:llwww.caffeine.ca This is a fairly new site for Canadian agriculture. This site is basically an index for Canadian websites. It is a comprehensive list of differetlt pages, ranging from company to government sites. It also has the ability to allow you to add a site that you think should be listed. It also has chat areas so that you can talk to other farmers in real-time and a place where you can read or list advertisements. Another good thing about this site is that it is in an easy to use and an easy to read format, an excellent feature if you plan to spend a few hours just surfing the 'Net. Agriculture Online http..11www.agriculture.com This site is part of Successful Farming and is fantastic. One the most outstanding features the site has to offer is that it has chat rooms dedicated to specific topics such as livestock, machinery, marketing, and technology. It also has articles on various agricultural topics, weather reports, market updates and the latest information on agricultural technology. As with Caffeine, this site has a very easy to use and read format.
