The min awards, the most coveted and competitive =onors in the world of media and online journalism, recognize leading websi=es and digital initiatives among top consumer, enthusiast and business-to-=usiness print titles and their online brands.</p><p>The win for Editorial =xcellence – Special Section (in the b2b category) recognizes AgWeb's=popular Harvest Maps. The Corn and Soybean Harvest Maps show, by color, th= average yields for a given state and county, based on extensive data provd by AgWeb users throughout the harvest season. The Harvest Maps turn fa=mer-submitted data on crop yields into a heat map that shows the harvest r=sults for corn and soybeans across the country in real time.</p><p>"W='re honored to be recognized for what we're passionate about—generat=ng content and developing tools to help producers and professionals within=the agriculture industry better manage their operations and grain-marketin= strategies," said Charlene Finck, Senior Vice President of Editorial=and Content Development for Farm Journal Media. "The Harvest Maps giv= us a way to collect and immediately share time-sensitive data that can he=p our audience manage their operations. This is not just highly engaging a=d interactive content, but a seriously useful tool."</p><p>Within the=first week of the launch of the Harvest Maps in September 2011, onlin= users made it clear they found the information extremely engaging and ben=ficial. The section averaged 5,000 page views a day for the first month, o=e of the most successful new section launches in AgWeb history. Since Sept=mber 2011, the Harvest Maps have received nearly 250,000 page views, accor=ing to Google Analytics.</p><p>According to the min awards judges, "B= keeping the input forms quick and easy and the color-coded maps highly ac=essible, AgWeb showed a keen understanding of what it takes to make such a=UGC [user-generated-content] project work. Readers could get at-a-glance b=siness intelligence that helped them to understand their own crop performa and the markets."<br /></p></td><td height="170" colspan="2"><=></p></td></tr><tr bordercolor="#020000"><td height="65" width="97%"=align="left"><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>A=out Farm Journal Media </b></font><br />Farm Journal Media is the nation&r=quo;s leading agricultural media company.
