It would be great if we could get some of the US or Canadian rural papers here in Australia. It would allow a much better apparaisal of rural life in these countries. Our rural newspapers used to take quite a while to read. I can polish of the three that I get each week in about 1 to 2 hours reading the bits that interest me. Our rural newspapers are far too expensive to advertize in for the return you get. How much do your papers cost? Ours that I read, Queensland Country Life and The Land cost $3.40. The Stock and Land costs $2.10 ( thats all its worth too, nothing much in it) Most landholders in our area read the interstate paper because we are right near the border. Suppose it's the same in the US.
