North Dakota Farmer Becomes Cyber Farmer
from the get-online,-everyone's-doing-it dept
In case you didn't think the internet was reaching the farming community, here's the story of a farmer who has built a nice little side business for himself designing websites for other farmers and farm equipment suppliers. He originally built his own farm's website, and then others came calling, asking him to design similar sites for their farms. His customers seem pretty satisfied. Meanwhile, in a bit of a role reversal from the usual "let-kids-handle-the-geeky-stuff", the guy says that two of his sons help do the farmwork, which leaves him with the time to do web design.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
