Having just noticed that I've not received any issues of Crops for the last few months, does anyone know if it's ceased publishing?

Yep ceased publication, couldn't compete with CPM in my opinion. They have now replaced it with Future Farming Magazine, but don't appear to be sending it out to all the old Crops readers, you have to register for it.

Right, that explains that, thanks. I registered for Future Farming, but can't really see the point of it, as it's too short to go into real detail on any point and is sickeningly positive about everything it does touch.
My favourite was Stephen Carr (in Crops of course).

And their figures for GPS steering systems were not only wrong by a margin but in dollars too. Shoddy to the point of worthless publishing

CPM is quite good. Quite product placey but thats fine as you can read through it but they do good summaries of what you may need to know.

Crops was free (in a way). Crops, CPM, Arable Farming, Farmer & Agronomist, Farm Business etc might not cost you anything directly but they have to raise revenue somehow so it all comes from advertising and sponsored articles, with the associated bias.

This information is worth what you pay for it. ;)

It's a shame I really liked crops. Why is future farming in American?
Because, I suppose, they actually think that their little mag will be adopted by the US if they patronisingly use american references.
Last week I watched something similar happen on a ten year old edition of Jonathan Creek, where a crook referred to a Defender on the screen as a Jeep. Do they really believe that such tiny changes will impress anyone?
All it did was to infuriate me.

It's either lazy editing or more likely, an attempt to sell the programme to American TV where they have less imagination & might insist on it being "translated."
