Agricultural Publishers Association Archives, Series No. 8/3/80, Box 5., Agricultural Publishers Association, Bulletin No. 44, page 2., Reports inquiries from publishers about state Farm Bureau organizations that are considering publishing periodicals that sell advertising. Only one is doing so now, according to this report (Hoosier Farmer in Indiana), but others are reviewing possibilities. Author concludes: "On account of the loyal support given to the farm organization movement by farm papers generally, it would appear that farm bureau officials should not look with favor on any plan which might place farm organizations in the light of competitors to farm papers."
