Nov. 16, 2015 Source: Fastline news release Earlier this fall, Fastline launched BigAg.com a community-based website that brings together owners and operators of large commercial farming operations. The site aims to be a source of news featuring articles in six main topic areas - animal, ag news, equipment, financial/markets, row crop and technology. Active farmers are encouraged to participate in the exclusive forum where they can interact with operators around the country while discussing topics such as animal, business management, financial/markets/policy, equipment and row crops. To participate in any, or all, of the forum conversations register here. In addition, the site offers a current snapshot of conditions around the country in its farmer-submitted Field Reports. In September and October a variety of field reports were received from farmers in the cotton, wheat, milo, corn, soybean, rice and cattle in five states ranging from Texas to Indiana. BigAg.com is seeking farmers from around the country to submit field reports. To participate, producers fill out a simple form and answer questions such as - What is the current weather and how has the weather been?, What is the current status of crops/livestock?, What is your outlook for the upcoming weeks? and Any advice for those in your area dealing with similar conditions? To sign-up as a field reporter visit www.bigag.com/topics/ag-news/become-big-ag-field-reporter "Every farm is a business, but large-acre producers have different needs, which is why we developed our Big Ag product line," says Bill Howard, CEO/Founder of Fastline. "Big Ag is two things to us. First of all it's a publication. Second, it's an online community where producers can talk, learn and share with like-minded individuals. "In addition to sharing their own stories Fastline will provide content, information and resources to help their business be more successful." Lastly, BigAg.com's searchable equipment database is fueled by the largest, freshest online database of new and used equipment in the agriculture industry - Fastline.com. The equipment search feature allows the user to search on brand, model, horsepower, price, radius around a zip code and many more parameters. The easy-to-read listings include at least one photo, price and product details such as the number of hours. In 2011, Fastline began publishing complimentary content specifically for the large-acre producer and wrapping it around each local Fastline catalog. With a nationwide distribution via the U.S. Postal Service of 100,000 copies per edition, anyone who isn't receiving the Big Ag catalog can visit www.bigag.com/subscribe Along with the new website, Fastline redesigned the Big Ag logo and publication's cover design for the first time since its launch. BigAg connects with farmers in their mailboxes, at BigAg.com, in their email box and via two social media accounts - www.Twitter.com/BigAg_com About Fastline Fastline has been serving the American farmer and rancher since 1978.
