After its first two years in publication, Ohio Farm Bureau's Our Ohio magazine is appealing to readers. According to a recently completed reader survey, "The initial results are positive," said editor Joe Cornely. "We wanted to measure the effectiveness in getting the Farm Bureau and agriculture message to associate members," he said. "Readers are opening up the magazine, and they like what they are getting."

Among items receiving approval were cover photos, photography and story content. "We received an 18 percent response rate, which is high," he said. "People care enough to send in a response."

Readers cited food safety, water quality and Ohio jobs and the economy as future story topics they would like to read, according to Cornely.

Our Ohio received Best Statewide Magazine honors at the American Farm Bureau Information Conference this summer.
