This blog is paying off..... reader/web user Bridget Olds has a great idea for FW to provide more information on the pictures chosen for front covers. For example, where livestock images are used, Bridget suggests giving details of who owns the stock and the name and location of the farm. I'm sure we can incorporate this in front cover planning, we simply need to find a suitable home for the details.... our designer Grant Sherriffs is working on it.
Farmer David Christensen also had a good idea for adding more FW comment, analysis and context to stories by adding a separate box at the end of relevant pieces. This fits with our aim to be more practical and to really make the most of the editorial team's expertise. We will give this a go sparingly.
Any more ideas you have to improve the magazine and the website will be gratefully received. Simply reply to this blog.
