PUBLISHER LETTER
FOUR YEARS OLD AND GROWING
MORE Every Year!
THIS MONTH HOLDS some milestones that mean a whole lot to me.
First, on July 16, my bride, Dot, and I celebrated 26 years of marriage! There’s not a day that goes by I don’t thank my lucky stars for a wife and friend who has stood by me through thick and thin— even through one of the biggest ventures of my life— the founding of Central Florida Media Group and the launching of its six publications.
Second, July marks the birthday of Central Florida Ag News (CFAN) magazine! That’s right, you wouldn’t know it by the look of her, but the magazine you’ve come to know and love is only four years old. We’ve come such a long way in a short time. Right out of the gate, we’ve taken a leadership role in communicating relevant agricultural news and continue to combine it with quality design. By
upholding the highest standards and ensuring we always produce a top-notch publication, we’ve won the loyalty of over 56,000 readers (and growing). I’m also happy to report that you’re looking at the largest CFAN ever published. Thanks to our loyal advertisers and readers, CFAN is bigger— and better— than ever. So, you might be wondering, “What’s your secret? How have you achieved so much in such a short time?” Well, I’ll tell you. The old acronym “T”ogether, “E”veryone, “A”chieves, “M”ore is as true as a July day in Florida is long.
I’d like to take a moment to thank our dedicated and talented staff as well as contributing team for all their hard work. To the State and Local Farm Bureau, we extend our gratitude for their continued endorsement and partnership, and look forward to many more years of a fruitful relationship. To our faithful readers: it’s our pleasure to bring you many more editions of relevant ag news. To our advertising patrons and media clients, many of which have been here from the start: your business keeps the wheels in motion, and we appreciate the opportunity to serve you by connecting you with a growing audience. Last, but certainly not least, the good Lord above and my family, for whom I would not have been able to undertake this incredible journey without.
