| The
Mathes Family Farm |
|
They are Brent and Jennifer Mathes and 2 boys who farm in
Southeast Kansas. Wheat, milo, soybeans, fescue, hay and a few cows
are all grown there. They believe in nutrition, good soil, quality,
air screen cleaners and, of course, selling their crops and such on
the Internet. Stop by whether you're with the retail or bulk markets
and buy something why don't you. |

| Farm Show |
|
Farm Show magazine features new inventions and "made it
myself" ideas born in farm workshops. Now you can search a database
of every stinkin' idea they've ever collected in order to help you
solve a problem. I typed in "fencing" and got 13 articles, including
"Tire Fencing Made From Big Tires" which I thought was a rather
snappy headline. |

Not for the farmer, but the farm supplier, this Web site
mainly plugs this magazine of the same name, but does offer a free
feature story and some outside links that might be useful. |

issues such as credit, risk management and outreach to younger

the USDA National Commission on Small Farms." |
| Hazeldell Homeplace |
|
After a long, hot, dry summer of 1999 (the driest of the
century), this Kentucky farm wants you to know how they're making
out. Check out the barn, the herbs, the farmer's marketplace and a
good ol' ghost story. |

| Modern Agriculture
|
|
This claims to be the ultimate agriculture magazine, but
the online version seems to be a bit out of date. The feature
stories on soil sensing are from Spring '99 at last check and there
wasn't a whole heck of a lot else there. What I saw looked good,
though. |
| The
Farming Game |
|
Farming's no game, son. It is now, Pa. Check out this
site to find out about this farming board game that has sold over
350,000 copies and been translated into Russian. Harvest the
fun! |

| The Lundberg Family Farms Home Page |
|
Wendell., Eldon, Homer and Harlan Lundberg--true farmer
names if ever I've heard one--grow mainly brown rice on their
Richvale, California farm and they've done a real nice job of
chronicling their 50-year history as well as what's going on
today. |
