POSTED: July 26, 2006

LONG BEACH, CA -- FINBIN was given the Outstanding Agricultural Economics Extension Website award for 2006. The award was presented by the Extension Section of the American Agricultural Economics Association at their annual meeting which was held in July.

FINBIN, the FINPACK Farm Financial Database, was judged and applauded by the review committee of the AAEA Extension section. The 2006 award focused on a website that addressed a single major issue, quality of materials, organization, appearance and ease of use.

Developed by the Center for Farm Financial Management at the University of Minnesota, FINBIN provides benchmark financial information for farm producers, educators, lenders, and other agricultural professionals. The database summarizes actual farm data from thousands of agricultural producers who use FINPACK for farm business analysis. Data is provided by the Minnesota State Colleges and University Farm Business Management Education Programs as well as similar programs in Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Utah, and Wisconsin.
