AGIIS
By Chris Crutchfield, AgGateway Member Services
I recently watched a television show with my son about the life of a blacksmith. At one point, as the blacksmith was making a horseshoe, it looked like the horseshoe was completed and would do the job, but he stuck it back in the fire. When it was glowing white hot, he started beating on the iron once again. My son asked why he was still working on it since it looked done, and I told him the blacksmith was improving the product by heating the iron up, to make it easier to work with.
This analogy hits home with the Ag Industry Identification System (AGIIS). We have a working system that meets the needs of the ag industry. I would compare AGIIS subscribers to the fire. These are users that understand the purpose and functionality of the system. By using the system day in and day out to obtain industry identifiers for business purposes, they can identify improvements that can be made. > Read more...
