Data gathering, website downloads and information requests
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
My company Phinite manufactures organic fertilizer. We seek to locate fertilizer companies and distributors who can help us sell the product. Various government agencies maintain information on fertilizer distributors, usually through environmental licences. This project is to review publicly available information and download it for the states where it is readily available. This project is to:
- Review the Department of Ag and Environment websites for each US state in prioritized order, and figure out if you can download the information we seek
- For states that you cannot, lodge an information request for the information with the department
For example, in North Carolina the NC Department of Ag requires each fertilizer manufacturer to be licensed. They have a website where they talk about this. On this website they have a link to a database where you can search for "fertilizer manufacturer licences." By doing this you can locate a list of all licensed manufacturers in the state. This is the kind of list we want.

This project will be based on an hourly rate, as we do not know which websites will be conducive to your work or not.
