Alltech teams up to create an online agriculture multimedia outlet

A demonstration of the Alltech Ag Network by iHigh’s CEO Jim Host and Alltech’s president Dr. Pearse Lyons will be aired live at 10 a.m. EST on Thursday, July 28th, and available for later on demand viewing at www.AlltechAgNetwork.com. Network features include live streaming, mobile broadcasting, unlimited photo uploads, a calendar system for event promotion, and email blast functions. Since June 2010, there have been nearly 12 million video views and more than 46 million photo views on iHigh sites.

 

“Over the last several decades, we’ve seen our ever-growing population migrate to cities, away from the origins of their food,” said Dr. Pearse Lyons, president and founder of Alltech. “At Alltech, we are committed to narrowing the gap between family and farm, and we believe the Alltech Ag Network on iHigh will further this mission as it highlights the world of agriculture.”  

 

Content on the Alltech Ag Network is user generated, allowing consumers to craft what they want to see and how they’d like to see it. Using iHigh’s unique content platform, organizations are able to share their events in real time with a global audience who can access the streaming video on any computer or mobile device.

 

“As Internet use continues to grow, many affinity groups, especially ag related youth groups such as rodeo, equine associations, FFA and others, are seeking methods to provide better exposure to their organizations and drive interest and membership,” said iHigh CEO Jim Host. “Through our partnership with Alltech, coupled with our feature rich web platform, these affinity groups will now have a cost-effective means of sharing their content and letting the world know more about them.”
