Every issue of Farm News is loaded with articles, photos, columns and advertisements intended to inform farmers and everyone else living in rural communities.

In addition to the regular issues, there are multiple popular special issues such as Spring Farm, Barns of Iowa and Century Farms full of interesting stories.

The price for all of that knowledge and entertainment can’t be beat. A subscription to Farm News is free. Unfortunately, bringing all that material to readers isn’t free.

Farm News is now asking readers to chip in just a little bit to help keep all of the paper’s great content coming.

In return for making a contribution, everyone who does so will be entered into a drawing for one of 10 $50 gas cards from Casey’s General Stores.

Contributions of $20, $30, $40 or any other amount can be sent to Farm News, P.O. Box 659, Fort Dodge, IA 50501. Please see the insert in this issue for more information.

The winners of the gas cards will be randomly drawn from all entries received. The winners will be named in the May 31 edition of Farm News.
