Waterloo, Nebraska
November 2,  2001

Buzzwords for farmers include new, yield, plots, agronomy, product, information, and ownership. Producers can find these elements and more at www.jcrob.com. As more farmers are utilizing the Internet as an information source, The J.C. Robinson Seed Co. is increasing the amount and type of information available on the Company’s corporate website.

"We are a customer focused company so it is critical that we have information in the forms our customers prefer," Jon Blasing, market services director said. "Jcrob.com is a way for us to provide both general information about the Company and our Golden Harvest brand, as well as very personalized and specific information for individual users."

The corporate site includes region specific Golden Harvest product information, overview information on research, agronomy, company history and brand history. "It also includes a sortable career opportunity section and postings of our most current Company news," he said. "One of the most exciting features is the Sales Team Locator function that allows producers to link up with our entire team of personnel in their area with the expertise to help them."

"The corporate website is a work in progress so we will continue to expand and enhance the user’s experience each time they visit jcrob.com," Blasing said.

"There is also a section of jcrob.com that is the business processes our dealers can use to order seed, check inventory, shipping status, seed availability, etc.," he added. "Since we launched the site 60 days ago, we have over 60% of our current orders placed online with over 50% of our dealers now using the online tools. We’ve had a great acceptance and immediate use of these tools. It makes it easier for them and more efficient for us."
