The Department of Agriculture Web site (www.usda.gov) posts lots of information
about U.S. agriculture with links to related Web sites. Agriculturelaw.com
(www.agriculturelaw.com) and
the National Center for Agricultural Law Research and Information (www.NationalAgLawCenter.org)
post many more links to good agriculture sites. Agriculture statistics are
posted by the University of Michigan Document Center (www.lib.umich.edu/govdocs
/stats.html).
Westlaw has an Agriculture News database
(AGRINEWS).
To search for published materials, try the National Agricultural Library
Web site (www.nalusda.gov), which
includes access to the library's online catalogue and an "Answer to Your
Questions" page that directs you to various "Centers" that provide answers
to agriculture-related reference questions.
