Blog Profiles: Agriculture Blogs
Welcome to Blog Profiles! Each week, we select an industry or subject and a handful of sites that do a good job with promoting, contributing, and blogging about the space. Do you have a blog that deserves recognition? Tell us why @BeyondBylines.
Spring break.
So it’s technically only a couple of weeks away, but it doesn’t feel very springy in DC right now. Still, a bunch of my garden friends are beginning to prepare their seed trays to start their vegetable gardens.
This led to today’s inspiration for blog profiles: Agriculture and farming blogs.
Progressive Farmer
This blog covers what’s new in the world of farm equipment and machinery. It’s overseen by senior editor Jim Patrico.
I like this blog because it includes interesting information about the farming industry, which unfortunately is not a field I know much about. Thankfully, blogs like Machinery Chatter help educate me.
Some posts that I found interesting include It’s Almost Time to Fly, which is about proposed rules establishing flight procedures for the use of commercial unmanned aircraft, and A Quieter Farm Machinery Show, which covers the recent National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville.
Patrico explains that 2015 was a different show: “In previous years companies like John Deere, Case IH, New Holland and AGCO often rolled out something really big in Louisville. Last year, for example, was the year of the planter. Deere, Kinze and Precision Planting all had game-changer products to reveal including super-fast planters and planters that can carry and precisely place two different hybrids. Lots of big news; plenty of buzz. This year, by comparison, was quiet.”

AgWired
AgWired provides news from the world of agribusiness.
The blog is owned and published by ZimmComm New Media, LLC, which was founded by husband and wife team Chuck and Cindy Zimmerman.
According to AgWired, the Zimmermans are “award winning agricultural journalists who have covered agriculture throughout the southeast and the Midwest for major agricultural radio networks.”
Some posts that caught my eye on AgWired include Task Force to Make Case for Investment in Nutrition, Ag Issues Forum Celebrates 10 Years, and BASF Survey Says Farmers Concerned About Risk.

Agricultural Biodiversity Weblog
This site covers the agrobiodiversity world of crops, livestock, microbes, pollinators, and wild relatives.
“Separated by half a world but united by their passion for agricultural biodiversity and the internet, Luigi Guarino and Jeremy Cherfas decided to create a space that would allow them to indulge their passions and maybe do some good,” the blog says.
The Agricultural Biodiversity Weblog is it.
“Our aim is to collect in one place anything we find on the internet that relates somehow to the notion of agricultural biodiversity (or agrobiodiversity, though we don’t particularly like the word), a big tent but one that the whole of humanity shelters beneath,” the writers say. “If that helps others to find things of interest, so much the better.”
Notable posts include Apples in the Snow, Kew Does Crops, and There’s More to Kiwi Fruit Diversity Than You Think.
