The content of these journals includes: weekly national and international grain market reports; yield reports; national and international economic and government policy articles and reports; milling, baking, weather, and other related industry articles and commentaries; social and cultural content such as wedding announcements, obituaries, job change notices, job advertisements, and professional profiles. Each journal contains an ‘Index of Advertisers’ and extensive advertisements for flour, mills, insecticides, flour bags and flour sacks, and other industry-related businesses and services.
