Website Development
Project Objectives
- To provide another forum for sharing forage information with people inside and outside the Peace River region
- To compile a list of all contact names, places or websites where various reports, newsletters, variety trial results, demo plot results, proceedings and other forms of forage info can be accessed.
- To develop a website and use its 3 dimensional qualities to convert the "mural" of the Peace Forage R&D Vision into a format that people can more readily interact with.
