If you're not careful it's easy to get overloaded with irrelevant information. Most irrelevant information is benign, but even when searching for the most wholesome farm, lawn or garden information you may run across subjects that would make a sailor blush. Lets just say if you're wheat becomes infected with smut, if you're thinking about planting some melons, or if you have a question about dirt you may want to be careful how you search the Internet. After re-inserting your eyeballs you're probably going to find some information on the subject that interests you. Unfortunately, oftentimes it's hard to judge the quality of Internet information.
Many web sites are full of misinformation, especially with regard to agriculture.
Agricultural recommendations often vary greatly because they are strongly tied to local climatic conditions and soil types. The World Wide Web got its name for a reason, and Dorthy probably grows things a little different up in Kansas than we do here in Athens Georgia. Even with all its problems the Internet is a wonderful place to find information on agriculture. But don't forget that when it comes to agriculture and natural resources Extension has always been at the forefront. This tradition continues, at the Extension Service we are doing our best to eliminate information pitfalls while still capitalizing on the usefulness of the Internet.
