Four months after acquiring Farm Progress
Cos. from Fairfax Media, Penton Media has announced a new structure for its
Agricultural Group that integrates the recently added properties.
As part of the restructuring, five Farm Progress brands that overlapped with Penton's geographic coverage—Carolina-Virginia Farmer, Southern Farmer, Mid-South Farmer, The Farmer-Stockman and California Farmer—will be shuttered. Penton's Farm Industry News will be recast to cover technology for production agriculture. Eighteen positions were eliminated in the reorganization.
