Hoosier AG Today launches web site and podcast
Hoosier Ag Today, a radio program servicing Indiana’s agricultural industry, has announced the development of a multi-media web site, www.hoosieragtoday.com. The site focuses on serving the informational needs of Hoosier farm families and rural residents with a unique blend of text, audio, and graphics. A daily podcast that can be downloaded directly or by subscription through a podcast download program like iTunes is also offered.
“Farmers are using the internet in a variety of new and different ways,” said Gary Truitt, President of Hoosier Ag Today. “We have incorporated a variety of approaches into the site to take advantage of current and future trends.”
The Newscenter features text and photos interlaced with audio cuts and interviews to present the information in a multi-media form. Likewise, the Weathercenter features a daily agricultural forecast prepared by Indiana-based meteorologist Rob Wasson in text and audio formats. In addition, there are links to a variety of live radar images and agricultural forecast maps. The site also features a Classified ads and Farm Auction section along with commentaries on farm and rural issues.
The daily podcast combines several of HAT’s radio programs into one informative and entertaining podcast. “The number of farmers and agri-business professionals that are using podcasts is relatively small, but the percentage is growing every year,” said Truitt. The podcst allows HAT listeners to hear the programs on their schedule. The site also contains audio files of all Hoosier Ag Today programs that can be listened to while on-line.
Hoosier Ag Today was launched in September of 2006 and is currently broadcast by 21 radio stations across Indiana. The web site was built by WireReady® NSI and is managed with their WebReady software.
