Agriculture: A List of Websites
Summary
This list provides a sampling of the rapidly proliferating number of agricultural
resources available on the Internet. It is not intended to be exhaustive. It is divided
into 27 categories.
The websites in this report are for reference only. CRS does not guarantee that
these websites are active or current, as the Internet is a vital domain in which new
websites continually are added and others abandoned. Also, CRS does not make
judgements about the partisan nature of the information posted at some addresses,
which will reflect biases of the organization maintaining the site. CRS has, however,
made some judgements on where to place groups; many groups could be placed in
multiple categories. Finally, no state or local agencies, such as individual state
departments of agriculture, or locally-based private organizations, such as the Marin
Conservation League, are included to limit the size of this document. Also, this list
does not include addresses of private businesses.
Note: CRS has a wide variety of online reports on agricultural and other issues. See
the CRS home page at [http://lcweb.loc.gov/crs/].
