Arizona Forage Producers Association Weblog

Friday, May 23, 2003

I set a personal record today. 2 1/2 hours on the line with technical support to make what I thought would be a simple change to my DSL connection to allow me to connect the server I moved from Tucson. The tech support person and I were both ready for a beer when we figured out the problem. In any case the server is back up and I am now getting everything working together. At present the weblog and the website are working. Tomorrow I will tackle the discussion group and work on the methods to set up individual member web sites.

"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
