To help farmers find some of the new agriculture apps, Farms.com has created an extensive online directory of agri apps which are listed in categories and with a description. To visit the Farms.com App Directory and find the apps to help you on your farm go to [URL="http://www.farms.com/agriculture-apps/"] http://www.farms.com/agriculture-apps/ [/URL]
