Editor's Note: Focus On The Net is poultryOne.com's new effort to recognize other great resources that we believe will be useful to our many visitors. Each month we will feature a website that excells in all of the following categories: Presentation, Quality of Information, and Topic Coverage.

This month, we would like to focus on Farmers' Almanac TV's website. Raising poultry is more than just a hobby. Often times, it's a lifestyle. Famers' Almanac TV serves that lifestyle by offering a wide medley of resources and services, including an online store, free monthly newsletter, and articles.

By now, you're probably already heard all about it: In a recent issue of Farmers' Almanac TV's free monthly newsletter, they featured your favorite online resource for raising poultry: poultryOne.com! Besides mentioning us, they also took some time explaining how to feed chickens, wondering if chickens have the capability to "love", and much more. If you haven't done so yet, check out the great article yourself!

As one of the leading online providers of poultry information on the Internet, we are always on the lookout for ways to help assist hobbyists and farmers around the globe. Farmers' Almanac TV highlighted one of our most popular services, the 24-hour Poultry Question Assistance Program. If you take a few seconds to browse poultryOne, you'll find other great resources like an online poultry community and free chicken articles like the one you are reading right now.

The same goes for the Farmers' Almanac TV website. While everyone knows about the Farmers' Almanac, most are just becoming familiar with FA-TV. Much newer on the American scene, FA-TV has created a website offering a wealth of information. And best of all...

...They're coming soon to a channel near you! A-TV is currently criss-crossing the country filming Farmers' Almanac TV: The Show, covering everything from Cooking and Gardening, to Land Makeovers and Hobby Farms. What you'll find is pretty much everything you'd expect in a TV version of a 189-year-old tradition.

One example of the superb free resources they offer is their monthly newsletter that gives you hints, tips, recipes, stories of adventure and craftsmanship, weather forecasts and more. They also have a Market Place where you'll find one-of-a-kind treasures for friends and family (and, of course, yourself). What makes the products they sell so special is most all of them have been found by their TV crews as they filmed different stories for the show. You can order online or by calling them toll-free at 1-866-722-3276.

Some of the products in their Market Place are so fascinating, we couldn't resist mentioning them here. For example, rural homesteaders and urban apartment dwellers alike will find a mother-lode of practical information in The Big Book of Self-Reliant Living. And if you're a do-it-yourselfer longing for a more independent lifestyle, pick up a copy of Living On An Acre, a classic USDA handbook for those who ever wanted to raise chickens, plant an orchard, sell at a farmer's market, etc.

Of course, what could be better than purchasing the Farmers' Almanac 2005 itself? Featuring their famous weather forecasts, gardening tips, best days to fish, humor, astronomy, trivia, and so much more, it's a definite must have.

Finally, no barn yard would be complete without a touch of the whimsical. A belle among bovines, their Jute Fiber Cow is perfect.

By now you've seen that the Farmers' Almanac TV website is a great place for gifts and goodies. However, just like us, they strive to help educate people like you and me to make our lives better. We personally love their articles (once again, available through their free online newsletter which you can sign up for on their homepage). With information on every topic imaginable, like growing plants in containers, we suggest you check them out today.
