About
Internet-based Services
The internet can provide an inexpensive way to increase knowledge
and reach more customers without leaving home, but many farmers
are not taking full advantage of this tool.
Southern
SAWG, in partnership with the USDA's Risk Management Agency (RMA),
launched the Internet-Based Services project to assist Southern
farmers in utilizing the Internet.
This
project is designed to address the special needs of family farmers,
including those who are not "computer literate," and to
help them take advantage of all the internet can offer.
Internet
Training
In
cooperation with NCAT/ATTRA and other project partners, Southern
SAWG has developed educational tools to demystify the internet,
demonstrate its usefulness, and provide training in accessing and
utilizing a variety of internet-based services.
Web
Resources
Southern
SAWG provides a variety of on-line resources, including links to
technical information and discussion forums that farmers can access
for free through the World Wide Web.

of online marketing opportunities through Local Harvest, New Farm,
