After using the new feature, independent agronomist and AgFuse member Monica Pape commented, “AgFuse’s publishing platform has become an invaluable tool for me as an ag professional since I can use the platform to connect with others in the industry and we can supply information that all types of farmers across the country can share and learn from. The platform provides a way for the farmer and ag professional to build meaningful connections beyond the articles themselves.”

The new commodities section features three subsections: markets, news and weather. The markets subsection shows futures quotes and charts including current figures and historical highs and lows.

All three subsections are accessible on the AgFuse website and apps.
