Source: Farm Journal Media news release
Farm Journal Media announced today that veteran agricultural journalist Mike Walsten has been appointed as Editor of The Agriculture Letter. Walsten will continue to work from Farm Journal Media's office in Cedar Falls, Iowa, where the company also publishes Pro Farmer and other agricultural newsletters.
In addition to being Editor of The Agriculture Letter, Walsten retains his duties as Editor of LandOwner. Both The Agriculture Letter and LandOwner are published twice monthly. "Mike will be an exceptional editorial steward for The Agriculture Letter," said Chuck Roth, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Farm Journal Media's newsletter division.
"His deep journalistic experience and broad knowledge of agriculture topics will serve The Agriculture Letter's diverse audience of about 6,000 farmers, ranchers and other ag professionals very well." Walsten has covered major business trends in agriculture for more than four decades.
From the southern corn leaf blight of 1970 to today's biofuels focus, he has lived, reported and analyzed the impact of volatile markets on farm and ranch businesses and on land prices. A polished presenter, Walsten has appeared as the land expert on "AgDay TV" and has numerous speaking engagements across the country that includes Top Producer Seminar and Pro Farmer Profit Briefing seminars.
The Agriculture Letter dates back to 1929 and was known as The Kiplinger Agriculture Letter until Farm Journal Media acquired it from Kiplinger last October.
