Scheduled to take place in early 2013, the commissioning of the USS Arlington (LPD 24), will be a ceremony deeply rooted in naval history, and is expected to see thousands gather to show support for the men and women who will soon serve aboard the Arlington. Participants and spectators of the ceremony will be witness to all the pomp and circumstance that surrounds this very rare and special occasion.

The Arlington, like her sister ships, USS New York (LPD 21) and PCU Somerset (LPD 25), is a San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock. These three ships are named in commemoration of the September 11, 2001 attacks. Steel taken from the Pentagon following the attacks will be displayed aboard the ship.

The honor of producing a commissioning publication is nothing new to Faircount, having done so for many vessels, including the two newest aircraft carriers to join the fleet, the USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) and USS George Bush (CVN 77), as well as the aforementioned USS New York.

Companies interested in being part of the Arlington commissioning publication should contact Steve Chidel at 813-675-3816, or via email @ steve.chidel(at)faircount(dot)com

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

The People’s Department: 150th Anniversary of the United States Department of Agriculture 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 and 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.

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, 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 yearlong 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.
