Farm Journal Media just announced that Farm Journal has received a distinction that puts it into an elite publication group. BtoB Media Business, which is a magazine for business publishing executives, has selected Farm Journal as one the country’s top 25 business publications. It is the only agricultural magazine to be recognized in the list.
In its June 2006 issue, BtoB Media Business described the 25 publications as having “shaped the business publishing industry.” Other publications on the list include Business Week, The Economist, Forbes, Fortune, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and USA Today.
BtoB Media Business said that FARM JOURNAL “started regional editions in 1952 and switched its focus from a consumer magazine to a b-to-b publication in 1958. In 1982, FARM JOURNAL became the first magazine to bind issues based on customized information, such as crops, livestock and region.”
