Just a few days ago we asked, “What happens to Agri Marketing magazine?” Like many, we had heard about this but it wasn’t officially announced until today.
Henderson Communications L.L.C., a newly formed agricultural communications company, announces that it has purchased AgriMarketing magazine and its related communications activities from Vance Publishing Corp. Vance Publishing had acquired AgriMarketing as part of their purchase of Doane Agricultural Services of St. Louis, MO, on October 7 and immediately sold it to Henderson Communications.
“I am very pleased to announce this acquisition,” said Henderson Communications LLC President Lynn Henderson. “It has been my honor to have been associated with AgriMarketing since 1977, first serving as its Publisher while I was employed by its founder, Century Communications Inc. (CCI), and later while serving as President of Doane when it acquired it from CCI in 1993.”
Henderson reports there will be few changes in AgriMarketing. “It’s frequency, circulation, and editorial content will remain the same” he said. “Judy Knoll, long-time Ad Sales/Customer Service Manager of AgriMarketing will continue in that role. Also, Audrey Evans who has been affiliated with the magazine for several years will be its Managing Editor.”
I remember receiving my first issue of the publication when I became a NAMA member many years ago. We wish Lynn much success in the future.
BTW. You can read another great article about blogging as a business tool in this month’s issue. Man, that guy can write!
