Great News Sites For Agriculture, Commodities

Here are two web sites for excellent news. The first is a general news site, but I have the link set up to automatically search for commodity-related news. This British website constantly crawls the Internet checking thousands of news sites for developing news on many topics. I frequently check this website for news related to my preferred futures trading instruments.

This second website is for the magazine Farm Futures. It has agriculture-related updates several times each day, and registration for the website is free.
