| What is Open Source Software & How does it fit in Agriculture?
Open-source software (OSS) is a software product for which the code is freely available to the public to use or modify. This is essentially the opposite from what we call proprietary software, which is privately owned and licensed. Open-source software may sound like something that would only be useful to an IT specialist or computer software engineer, but it is relevant to many of us in the ag industry, especially farmers.

For the upcoming tax filing season, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which is responsible for collecting federal taxes from U.S. taxpayers, will offer two free filing options for federal taxes to Wisconsin residents who qualify—the IRS Free File program and the Direct File program.
