XtremeAg

The Pollack Group is working with XtremeAg, a community of farmers from across the United States, on a website intended to help famers negotiate such hurdles as increasingly unstable crop prices, rising costs of equipment and inputs, extreme weather and new technologies. The Pollack Group will handle production and editing of an online content library that will let XtremeAg members share their experiences and methods with growers nationwide. The agency is also leading the development of XtremeAg’s social media channels through organic and paid marketing strategies. Launched in February, XtremeAg’s offerings also include webinars, video tutorials and podcasts.
