Arizona Forage Producers Association Weblog

Tuesday, October 1, 2002

OK now I have a basic weblog set up it is time to make it look and work the way I want it to. It is time to backup what I have done so far -- Just in Case-- and start customizing. The goals I have are an outline style weblog with navigation by categories and a place to put pictures from AKA frarms.

In my quest for a better format for the Farmer's Weblog I got to the point where I had to start over. Since I havn't announced the site yet I hope readers (if there are any yet) will bear with me while I experiment further. Expect to see the look and feel of the site change over the next month or so. I am implementing new tools for radio weblogs as they are being developed so there will be a few rough spots until I get all the parts put together. If you are putting together your own weblog I will try to document the steps I take as I go along. Maybe, I can be of some help to other cutting edge weblogers.. I will post these in the Radio tips category. OK here we go again.

"Forages return more money directly to Arizona producers than any other crop, including cotton and produce. The value of all hay alone produced in Arizona was $183 million in 2001(according to USDA figures), about twice value as much as cotton, while farmers themselves realize only a minor portion of the value of the produce crop. The value of our silage crops adds to the Arizona forage total value. And, forage production is increasing! I urge every Arizona forage producer to give this new organization your support with both membership and participation. Go get a neighbor to join up, too. Let's take charge of our futures by defining our products, supporting common objectives and sharing information." -- Lee Banning President
