TIFTON, GA – September 6, 2007 – Ag-Networks, a payroll service provider for agriculture employers, announced today that it has started its financial literacy initiatives developed to educate workers and help them become better consumers. "Our workforce education and financial literacy training piece explains the basics of banking and ATMs, how to use our product properly in the marketplace, and how they can save when compared to traditional services," states Roger Ramirez of Ag-Networks, "we provide tools to help them manage their funds and keep them safe."

Ag-Networks cultural professionals fully understand the lifestyles of their target audience, "they share the same values as everyone, a healthy work ethic and a strong sense of family values,” adds Roger, "the program has the ability to save them close to two weeks pay while they are here. That goes a long way in their native country.” Secondary cards, or "Family Cards” are provided to family members as a way to transfer money securely and economically. "The concept is for this education to trickle down to the spouses and children of our clients making them more informed consumers as well,” adds Michael Hammond, CEO of Ag-Networks, "this newly acquired purchasing instrument also opens them up to a new world of e-commerce and online cash management opportunities like E-bay and paying bills over the phone. It all starts with the proper education.”

Ag-Networks is dedicated to helping agricultural producers and agribusiness employers attract and retain a productive workforce. Competing over the labor pool proves to be a daily challenge for some of these employers, especially in boarder states, and Ag-Networks works with each operation to develop retention strategies customized to fit their needs.

Ag-Networks is a provider of broadband satellite and financial services to rural America. The company’s AgriCom Service Center, offers a complete portfolio of products and services designed to provide agricultural workforces with a convenient and low cost alternative for executing basic financial transactions. In addition, Ag-Networks’ Ag-Networks Payroll program automates the payroll process for employers and eliminates the costs and headaches associated with traditional paper check distribution.
