The release of the publication in both print and digital edition has been timed to coincide with ceremonies commemorating the 150th anniversary of the establishment of the USDA.

The People’s Department: The 150th Anniversary of the USDA celebrates the establishment of the USDA in 1862 by President Abraham Lincoln which forever changed the character of the nation.   It quite literally opened up the West and promoted and supported unprecedented growth in U.S. farming, agricultural technology and techniques.

The publication looks at the history of the USDA, as well as how it continues to do many of the things it was originally established to do, including: “provide leadership on food, agriculture, natural resources, and related issues based on sound public policy, the best available science, and efficient management.” Today, the department continues to evolve and in doing so, provides agile services to expand and develop alternative markets for agricultural products and activities, enhances and protects our food supply, delivers nutrition education, food assistance, and protects and manages America’s public and private lands.

The People’s Department has been extensively distributed to USDA leadership and personnel, agricultural and scientific institutions, industry and other non-governmental organizations.

Australian Year of the Farmer partners with Faircount Media Group’s Sydney office to celebrate the importance of farmers to Australia’s agricultural fabric.

Sydney - Faircount Media Group’s Sydney office will work in collaboration with the Australian Year of the Farmer organisation to produce a perfect-bound, soft cover, commemorative publication to celebrate all things Australian farming. Editorially speaking, the publication will offer compelling yet informative content across a range of areas such as trade and economy, the Australian way of life, and the agribusiness sector.

The Australian Year of the Farmer publication will represent not only the organisation itself, but also illuminate the vital role farmers play in feeding, clothing and providing building materials to house us all. Accompanied by rich illustration and with a working release date of November 2012, the publication is expected to act as the centerpiece to the final conference and expo in December.

As the brainchild of NSW farmer, Phillip Bruem, and former Sydney Markets CEO, Geoff Bell, Australian Year of the Farmer is a year-long celebration of the farming industry’s contribution to the nation’s economy and its prosperity. As a non-political, not-for-profit organisation, supported by the Governor-General Ms Quentin Bryce, Australian Year of the Farmer will remind all Australians how integral farming is to the country’s national identity and agricultural innovation.

Transitioning from a mere concept to a large-scale homage to Australian farming, the project aims to secure existing, and forge extended, connections between rural and urban Australia. Far reaching events, initiatives, and education programs are to unfold throughout the year and will benefit both regional and metropolitan communities across all States and Territories.

TAMPA — The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) and Faircount Media Group have signed an agreement to produce an annual magazine to support the agency’s efforts to promote the acquisition of U.S. products overseas, educate its partners in the U.S. government on exactly what it does, and describe how it interacts with those partners.

The DSCA is most well known for being the government’s Foreign Military Sales (FMS) agency. The agency can help a foreign customer locate, source, and even finance the purchase of whatever arms or services it needs.  Because the agency’s mission is so complex, there is a powerful need for a printed explanation that describes what the DSCA does and how foreign partners can buy American-made solutions.

Beginning in 2012, the publication will be delivered on a worldwide basis to Security Cooperation Officers (SCO) in the field. As an essential component of an SCO’s presentation, the magazine will explain how the DSCA can help its international customers with their security requirements. In addition to the SCO distribution, copies will be sent to DSCA personnel, Defense Security Partners, the military leadership of our allied and partner nations, and U.S. defense contractors.
