Cool Source of Information

I started out my research with Google search engine and I did notice a few websites that  follow the commodity market quite closely and produce timely updates about the crops in the commodity market. Here are a few websites I found this week that provided me useful information:

• Reuters US (http://www.reuters.com/):
  • Reuters^[1] is the world’s most renowned news media, it is widely recognized as a credible source of global news and analysis, etc.
  • You can find the news about the crops: corn, wheat, soybeans by using their search engine (For example, for soybeans news, you would have the most updated lists of news here:  http://www.reuters.com/search?blob=soybean).
• Agriculture Alberta (http://www.agriculture.alberta.ca):
  • This website is published by Government of Albert, it has information, news about Alberta and Canadian agriculture business and market; It also have information,news about the global agriculture market. I found the information of US crops production areas from their site (http://www1.agric.gov.ab.ca/$department/deptdocs.nsf/all/sis5219).
  • What’s more, it has a weekly audio update interviewing industry professionals about the Grains and Oilseed market; global and local highlights, some analysis and forecast will be delivered every Friday.  The report they had this week about soybeans has a good summary of the soybeans market and more (http://www1.agric.gov.ab.ca/$department/newslett.nsf/all/cotl19969).
• Bloomberg (http://www.bloomberg.com/): It is an American multinational mass media^[2]. Quite a few news articles about soybeans I read this week were published by them.
