   I will also miss New Farm magazine.  I don't subscribe to any of the 
other magazines (except Small Farm Journal), so I don't know if any of 
them can be a satisfactory alternative.  

   I think that I will most miss the of real-life alternative farms.  I
am always looking for new ways of farming, especially alternative methods 
of marketing crops.  

   In addition, I will also miss the editorials, descriptions of cover 
crops, and news on the alternative agriculture front.  I found the 
editorials to be generally broad-ranging and from a very realistic 
perspective.  I think the editor has a knack for seeing isues from a 
farmer's perpective.  My interest in cover crops probably stems from 
my constant search for a good crop rotation, a search (in my mind) in 
which _every_ farmer should be involved.  

   For me, New Farm provided a wealth of practical information in a
single magazine.  Many of the other magazines I read have thought-provoking
material, but few provide so much that I can apply directly on the farm.
