From the Editor

My name is Jeff Smith and I am an independent journalist with 50 years in the game.

I have long believed that the agricultural community has not been well served by the Mainstream Media considering its importance to this country. There is a plethora of sites on the internet you can visit but a one-click stop must have appeal.

Welcome to my AGRIgator website.
