What farm-related magazines do you subscribe to? (Other than MJF, of course!)
I am currently getting:
Ohio Farmer (found a list of Farm Progress's other mags at http://www.farmprogress.com/ME2/dirsect.asp?sid=35F5190311F843F6BD952B8D36F6C1B0&nm=Our Magazines
Country Woman http://www.countrywomanmagazine.com/
and
Progressive Farmer http://www.progressivefarmer.com/farmer/
and I pick up "Out here"http://www.mytscstore.com/outhere.asp(which is free) every time I go into Tractor Supply, along with Countryside and small stock journal http://www.countrysidemag.com/ (which is NOT free)
I just did a web search for Zeilinger's because I ran into a friend recently who works there, and found an article referencing them in the High Plains Journal, which I had never heard of before. http://www.hpj.com/ It made me think there are probably lots more farm-related publications out there that I am NOT aware of that might be of interest.
Most of them probably have web sites and I could probably trim my budget back if I looked at them online instead of buying them, not to mention having to store them or pass them on when I finish!
So, please list your favorite farm mags here (and their URL's, if possible)

I subscribe to Countryside and Small Stock Journal and I get back issues of Mother Earth News from my library as they are getting ready to toss them. I have found it a great way to get magazines. They are really happy to pass them along!
As a whole, I find Mother Earth very slick and yuppie these days. Same with Organic Gardening. Countryside has changed over the years, but still has interesting info and I like that the articles areusually from people living what they are writing about.

Hee hee Diane, you're too funny! I don't subscribe to any magazines, but I pick up Harrowsmith from time to time. I think the pictures and ideas are all stunning - I never really put a "yuppie" spin on it!
Ooooh...if only I had a million dollars for a designer solar home!

I came across another online journal today (don't know if there's a print edition or not. http://webstar.postbulletin.com/agrinews/70312793492161.bsp It featured an article on Rocking Horse Farm (where they do some machine knitting among other things) and I'm on their mailing list...

I like the Hobby Farms magazine a lot too. It is exactly what we have: a hobby farm...

I used to subscribe to The Mother Earth News. I agree with Diane, the newer issues are much less informative. I also used to get Mothering Magazine, also MUCH different these days. I find Country Living to be much less "country". Overall, I think most magazines have gotten slicker and full of advertising. I don't bother with them except in doctors offices or at tag sales! LOL
The only magazine I subscribe to these days is Mercantile Gatherings. It is a magazine for primitive crafters/lovers. I think it's the very best thing I've seen in years! At this time you can only order it online. I think Frannie posted a link a while back.

Subscribe to:
Hobby Farms - love it!
Small Farm Canada - has great articles on current issues and lots of great ideas. It's a relatively new magazine published locally and it's great. Lots of great articles on livestock and fencing and gardening, etc.
Country Woman - love it, particularly Ann's Farm Day adventures.
Use to subscribe:
Mother Earth News - I have every back issue including #1 and still buy it occassionally. I like the older issues for great how-to articles. I don't find newer issues as informative.
Harrowsmith Magazine - used to love it and subscribe, now I find it's a yuppie magazine and if you have a million dollars for a designer solar home on 20 landscaped acres it's the magazine for you!

I went up the hill to my parent's house yesterday and HAD to show my dad the "Certified Farmgirl" bumpersticker on the back of my van.( since I just started the Pea Blossom Farmgirl chapter here in GA, I got it on the vehicle asap!)and he said he just received a copy of Progressive Farmer in the mail. How fortuitous! So, now he will give them to me. He got a free subscription from somewhere. Lucky daughter!!

Oh, I love Mother Earth News too, thanks for the reminder --- I just pick it up a few times a year at Barnes and Noble, though.
