Nebraska Extension Agronomy Blogs

A blog is very similar to a website, but it is usually written by one person or a small group. A blog is more informal and written in conversational style like news columns you see in the paper. If you are not aware, my news column is also a blog post at Crop Tech Cafe. There are three blogs or hybrid blogs written by accountability region or multi-county Water & Cropping Systems Extension Educators. I want to write a bit about each of them, including Crop Tech Cafe.
