Our Mission

Farm Journal delivers the most widely used, trusted and relevant business information throughout American agriculture.

As the nation’s recognized leader in agriculture content, data and business insights, we serve every key audience in agriculture, including crop farmers, livestock producers, the produce supply chain and ag retailers.

Our industry-leading portfolio of content channels feeds the most robust demographic and behavioral database in ag — with the largest collection of first-party data. That data is the backbone of everything we do. It serves content to our farmer, rancher and grower audiences with unparalleled insight, enabling the industry to prosper. And it helps our clients target and engage with their customers in groups large and small. The result is the most effective customer activation engine in the industry.

Our History

In the beginning

Founded and established in 1877 by Quaker farmer Wilmer Atkinson, Farm Journal magazine was a way to share practical advice to improve the livelihoods of farmers living within a day’s horseback ride of the publication office in Philadelphia.

Now the most trusted voice in agriculture, Farm Journal has a unique position across agriculture – in digital and social channels, in live and virtual events, in leading broadcasts across the nation and on kitchen tables in rural homes everywhere – a friend to producers positioned at the forefront of change.
