Out there on the net, there a a lot of websites and blogs by our fellow friends.
Some have ventured into farming quite early, some have done magic in their land, some have taken it as a way of life. Some from agriculture families and some others novice but biting into fantasy and passion.
Atleast these sites have been an inspiration to me. Either in their content or in their intent. But have gathered a lots of information, not to mention this great site itself. The farmnest.com. Not sure whether some are already the forum members or not. So here goes my list, not in any order of preference. People knowing more such sites, please put their links here.
Guys keep adding to the list which you come across in farming… Ensure you do not add purely commercial NGO sites here. >:( >:( Like some which charges horrendously for some 3 hrs of stupid seed saving courses etc. Forget about on site Organic training web sites

Chandra, can you create a links section so that some of these sites can be put there. Sure they also would like to put farmnest.com in their links section.
I created a wiki page ‘Best of the farm blogs’ quite sometime back with some of the sites you mentioned listed, but I just did not make it public yet in the ambition of writing a few lines on each - let me go look at it. I am aware techie2aggie, sundayfarmer and geekgardener are definitely FarmNest members.
Keep posting the links here and I will copy them to the wiki page.
Had my wify did this, I would have jumped the gun . best and cheapest way to off load the burden. No dont take it seriously, just joking, mine is not aware of this forum. so am safe as of now .
Yeah, this Rs 3500 per night, is giving me a lot of ideas, even if I fail as a farmer, still I can be rich. But
I will add in addition to breakfast and food, Black Dog, 8 years and 12 years, some single malt like Glenvelet and the famous brothers, Romonov and Smironoff, and our wise Old monk . to name a few. for those who stay long. Full bottles .
Do post some pics of the cottages / guest houses, Did see on the net, nice ones.
keep the topic in your mind and see for your self the disdain for learning.No NGO is blood sucker.These organisations are helping hands.Remember trial and hit technique is wasteful.It is better the trained person moves like a guided misile on to its target.NGO’S do simply this thing.It is in the interest of a person to learn rather than believe the words of a moderator and learn nothing in the bargain.

Thank you for your post, for the benefit of all members please could you clarify what exactly is that you are trying to convey? I do not see any reference to an NGO being put down on this topic or am i missing something here?
Not able to understand the above Sorry for that. NGO sites references in this thread adds no value.
NGO’s and consultants, I have my reservations on their operations IMO, they lack the transparency in operations. This is my personal opinion, there may be some exceptions, but a majority are charity seekers
I’m looking for names and links of farmer / agriculture related BLOGS based in India. Not websites or other information sources, but blogs on the lines listed below.
Techie2Aggie
Profile: Ex-software engineer now growing timber and horticulture crops
Location: Sivaganga, Tamilnadu techie2aggie.blogspot.in/
Agroforestry Blog
Profile: Scientific information related to Agroforestry
Location: Tirunelveli, Tamilnadu agrowmania.blogspot.in/
If you know of more such blogs, please add to the list.
most of the information/s are not practical. when one enters the field, he experiences that all these blogs have no place in his work.
the practical person does not have any time to blog anywhere. this is the fact.
Old school of thought IMHO
I would think the GenX farmers can multitask - in the field and on the screen. In my experience, the busiest and most productive people have the most time to spare!
I second Chandra too. It is guys like them (bloggers) who give newbies like us the confidence to act on our dreams and plans.Cynicism and pessimism are two of the greatest enemies of a wannabe farmer.
The act of planting a seed and waiting for nature to play its part is an act of faith.Optimism is inherent in farming 8)
