Updating the Agronomic Crops Team Website to Benefit Ohio Row Crop Users.

Ohio corn, soybean and what producers are moving rapidly to take advantage of web based resources for information on increasing yield and saving money to produce their crops. The Agronomic Crops Team website and C.O.R.N. newsletter have been very popular as sources of information. But we were limited by old web technology in our deliver of audio, visual, and other enhanced information methods. An update with the assistance of the Communication Technology Team of the college has created an updated, valuable resource for our growers.

From a start date of November 2008 to a finish date of May 2010, many hours were spent by the committee on updating the website and electronic newsletter. Since the switch, readers have shown their interest in the improvements with an increase in viewers by 54% for the CORN newsletter and of 20% for the Agronomic Crops Team website: http://agcrops.osu.edu.
