Progressive Farmer

Farming is perhaps the purest, most basic form of commerce, meaning that just like any other business person, a farmer must keep informed about markets, trends and techniques to retain a competitive edge. For more than 100 years, those on the front line of the agriculture industry have relied on publications like "Progressive Farmer" for tips on how to make money, save money and derive the most enjoyment from their line of work. Such trade magazines keep tabs on what's happening in the worlds of business and agriculture, focusing on crop and livestock production, new technology, weather, government regulations and other valuable information. It's a lot to consider, but time spent with the "Progressive Farmer" during those 16-hour work days could be one of the very things that keeps a farmer down on the farm.
