Iowa State University’s joined two other institutions in launching a website with the goal of enhancing value-added agriculture. I-S-U’s Agricultural Marketing Resource Center wants the website to be a one-stop-shopping library of information to connect farmers with a wealth of data on how to do more with their produce or livestock. AgMRC spokeswoman Crista Hartsook says the site has 25-hundred links. She says the site can help farmers in a variety of areas — like starting a worm composting operation, an ethanol plant or growing organic beef. Hartsook says the site got 122-thousand visits last month alone. I-S-U, Kansas State and the University of California are collaborating on the Ag Marketing Resource Center website at the address: “www.agmrc.org”.
