I hope that many of you involved in agriculture in Kansas are already familiar with the AgManager.info web site. It is one of the premier extension sites for information on the agricultural economy, from Kansas State University.
AgManager.info website is a comprehensive source of information, analysis, and decision-making tools for agricultural producers, agribusinesses, and others. The site serves as a clearinghouse for applied outreach information emanating from the Department of Agricultural Economics at Kansas State University. It was created by combining departmental and faculty sites as well as creating new features exclusive to the AgManager.info site. The goal of this coordination is to improve the organization of web-based material and allow greater access for agricultural producers and other clientele. Topics presented on the AgManager.info site include: crop and livestock marketing and outlook reports, crop insurance, farm management, land values, rental rates, agricultural policy, farm bill, upcoming events, human resources, income tax and law, and agribusiness. Several topics include features that are updated weekly, encouraging repeat visits to the site. AgManager.info also contains decision-making tools, such as budget spreadsheets, and data sets that can encourage the agricultural industry to view AgManager.info as the most comprehensive and widely used university-sponsored website for applied research and economic outreach information.
If you are in the agriculture industry I would highly encourage to visit the site and I think you will see the vast amount of useful information on it, and will hopefully book mark it! In 2023 there were a total of 259,047 sessions by 177,314 unique visitors, with 516,500 page views. There is not a week that goes by in my job as an Extension Agent that I do not go to and utilize the information on the web site for my work. The web address is www.agmanager.info
