Other on-line sources...



Hello:
	I am compliling a list of on-line sources that would be of 
interest to golf course superintendents and others in the turfgrass 
field.  So far, I've found this group, TGIF, and a number of dial-up 
BBS's (Turfbyte, Metbyte, Turftalk, AgOnline). Anyone know of any other 
sources of info on turfgrass-related topics?  Any information will be 
appreciated. I would, of course, be happy to share the information I've 
collected so far with anyone who is interested.

						Thanks, 
						David Rose

     United States Department of Agriculture BBS
     ___________________________________________


  The United States Department of Agriculture has a BBS which posts
periodicals, monographs, catalogs, electronic data available from
its various economic agencies.  The BBS can be called for free by dialing
1-800-821-6229.  Of particular interest (to me anyways :-) is the
electronic data available that can be ordered from this service, including
a recently released CD-ROM.  Has anyone gotten it?  Do you find it useful
for modeling?  If anyone has data (other than Agricultural as well) that
they think others may find useful and can be downloaded, feel free to email
me and I'll post a summary.
  Follows is the data available from their electronic catalog.  There is
some free data on the BBS, including the data from each _Situation_and_
_Outlook_Report_ for _Feed_ and _Livestock_and_Poultry_.

SWOPSIM '92.  This software system produces global partial equilibrium
models in spreadsheets.  SWOPSIM models are designed to simulate the
effect of changes in producer and consumer support policies on
production, consumption, and trade. Several types of world models can
be constructed including single product models, multi-product net
trade models, and Armington type bilateral trade flow models. 
Economic linkages across products within a country occur via cross
price and input-output relationships. Linkages across countries and
regions take place through domestic-international price linkage
equations and world product trade.  A 3-region, 22-commodity world
model demonstration database and two computer tutorials for
constructing small net trade and Armington trade flow models are
included.  NOTE:  SWOPSIM '92 is shipped on a 1.44 MB diskette with 3
