Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

"You get the best thinkers in agriculture," Winkle said of the forums. "You’re mixing such a diverse group of people — from different areas, from different backgrounds, different experiences, different ways of farming."

The Internet division of Farm Journal Media, http://www.agweb.com, says user traffic doubled between October 2005 and October 2006, with the forums on the site enjoying similar growth. Traffic on the Des Moines-based http://www.agriculture.com has increased 20% to 25% over the past year, said editor John Walter. Both are free sites supported by ads.
