Special rates are offered for members and for ads paid for one year in advance. Newsletter deadlines for your ads are January 10th (February issue), April 10 (May issue), July 10 (August issue), and October 10 (November issue).

• If your ad is already created, it must be camera ready, done in black on white and in color. Since TopLine will also be offered online, color ads will showcase your farm/product and will be needed. We can also design your ad for you.
• Business card for ads may be sent to the address below.
• Computer generated ads are accepted and may be emailed as attachments.
• Photos from a regular film camera should be left as is and not resized or scanned unless done by a professional.
• Digital pictures should be created at 300 dpi resolution or your highest camera setting (which will give you the least amount of pictures on your memory card).
• Save your photos in a JPEG, TIFF, PSD or PDF format and email (in their original state) to the editor. Most times, photos that are reduced or scanned by your computer at home result in poor resolution. Please do not send a word document with graphics or a photo embedded. They must be sent separate and in the proper formats.
