Farm Demonstration Monthly In County Agent Network
Counties consider publishing a monthly county paper under county agent guidance to boost circulation and member services. The publication could qualify as second class matter, allow ads, and help advertise member products while expanding membership with a defined subscription flow. The county agent should not act as editor but may contribute.
