A new digital platform utilizes social networking to bring the latest information, developments, research, tips and much more to farmers and ag professionals around the world. AgFuse is a unique and completely free platform that enables the ag community to make valuable business and social connections. Founder, Pat Rogers said that like any other industry, agriculture depends on quick access to information for facilitating growth in the 21st Century. We have to move faster and faster in the digital age, Rogers said. Users develop profiles that include basic information and areas of interest. They can then form or join groups, allowing for discussion of specific topics, such as cover crops and precision technology. The broad range of tools available on the site allows farmers to increase knowledge in the field, update members and provide instant news through these groups. Upcoming development additions include an AgFuse app as well as features like AgFuse Queries, a question and answer service that enables users to achieve status points by providing quality answers to a range of questions. Developers are also working on including a publishing platform which will allow freelancers and farmers to directly publish their blogs or articles to the AgFuse community.
