Hello Stuart – I read your article on ‘Grass Fed’ with real interest, as it covered many points relevant to readers of Practical Farm Ideas PFI. Many are looking for ways to add value but find themselves stuck in a B2B business. I’d like to tell you more about PFI and would be happy to help produce any article. The publication is 25 years old and the 100th issue is on sale Feb 8. It is the only farming magazine to carry no advertising and have no sponsorship – the all-editorial model makes it independent of BigAg which has a significant influence on much farming media.
Best wishes, Mike Donovan
