A Farmer’s Publications

I venture to say most of us have magazines, newsletters, or websites that we enjoy depending on our interests.  From what I can tell a farmer is no different.  There are a variety of publications My Farmer enjoys as well as a few websites.

Order on Amazon

I have yet to meet a Farmer that doesn’t subscribe to FarmWorld.  FarmWorld is a newspaper for farmers full of normal newspaper publication stuff such as articles, classifieds to sell equipment and such, and you can’t forget advertisements.  We get one every Thursday and My Farmer looks forward to it every week.  We also receive:

There are also websites and classified catalogs that list farm equipment for sale by other farmers.  This is similar to AutoTrader.com that we all know well for cars and trucks.

My favorite magazine is County & Country Extra.  At the time I had a subscription it had no advertising, normal magazine articles, and what also set it apart from the rest was the beautiful pictures.  I should resubscribe so I can enjoy it once again.

What’s your favorite publication?
