Marcy Ward is a lady from L a t h a m , K S that
has an extensive background in animal science. With her knowledge about
the Ag world and computer usage she has started her own web page that features
goods and services for almost anything a rancher would need. Her goal with
this web page is to better assist farmers and ranchers to have access to
a larger selection of goods and services to improve their Ag operation.
Just a couple of months ago my family used her services
to post some livestock we were wanting to sell. When she showed up to take
pictures of the livestock she had to wait about 40 minutes on someone to
take her to them. This didn't bother her though, she was more than happy
to wait until we were done with what we were doing. She was friendly, informed
us of the kind of ad she planned on placing, and more than happy to do
what she could do to improve the ad. Besides that, her services was pretty
cheap I thought, only $30 to post the ad with pictures.

it. Good products, good people, training, and service equals
great customers!"
You might think that I got "stuck in a rut" with all of
the agribusiness's that are on this page, but they all represent different
aspects of agriculture services. Services in the ag world is just like
that of any other goods and service firms, you got to go to the place that
has what you want. Ranchers Guide offers an online helper to buy or sell
goods or services, AGP offers farmers a place to sell their crops, and
buy processed goods. And Macco sells equipment to assist the farmer through
the whole process, from planting to harvest.
