HUDSON, N.Y. \u2014 When a fledgling magazine gets former President Bill Clinton to contribute an article, you would think he would be featured on the cover. But the cover model for the current issue of the quarterly\u00a0Modern Farmer<\/a>\u00a0is a sleepy-looking goat. Mr. Clinton is mentioned between articles on outer space farming and soil cuisine.<\/p>\n

\n

The magazine, which offers advice on building a corn maze and articles on the effect of climate change on lettuce and oysters, is trying to carve out a new niche on the newsstand. It edges into the food magazine sphere with luminous photography of vegetables, while articles report on straight agricultural topics more often found in farming publications like the 111-year-old\u00a0Successful Farming<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Modern Farmer, which began publication in April, is trying to benefit from the first signs of growth in the total number of farms since World War II and the farm-to-table food trend that has fueled growth for farmers\u2019 markets and community-supported agriculture. That means the magazine has attracted readers who include an Amish farmer and vegetable supplier to Whole Foods, Brooklyn rooftop farmers harvesting kale and broccoli and myriad young farmers going back to the land.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know they\u2019re trying to reach people like me and the kind of hobbyists and the people who are just kind of enamored with the idea of farming,\u201d said Courtney Cowgill, a 33-year-old co-owner of the\u00a0Prairie Heritage Farm<\/a>\u00a0near Power, Mont., who formerly wrote about agriculture and other topics for The Associated Press. To appeal to the person who wants to romanticize farming and the person who is knee deep in turkey droppings \u201cis hard, and I think they\u2019re balancing that,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

It helps that Modern Farmer explores a subject on the minds of some of the world\u2019s wealthiest people. Ann Marie Gardner, the founder and editor in chief, conceived the idea for a magazine in 2011 after she noticed that sources she interviewed for Monocle magazine seemed preoccupied by agricultural issues. In spring 2012, Ms. Gardner, who previously worked for The New York Times and Tatler magazine, started to pitch an idea to investors. Frank Giustra, the Canadian mining billionaire and former chairman of Lion\u2019s Gate Entertainment, who had started to produce award-winning olive oil in Umbria, Italy, took an interest in Ms. Gardner\u2019s project. By November, he gave her enough money (she would not divulge figures) to start a Web site, and a print magazine.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was very interested in food investments,\u201d Ms. Gardner said as she sat in her sun-dappled second-floor offices beneath a Pilates studio and above the Face Shop, which sells skin care products, along Hudson\u2019s main strip. \u201cIt sat between his media interests and investments and his newfound food investments.\u201d<\/p>\n

The magazine has also attracted surprising financial support from advertisers eager to sell trucks, tractors, organic wine and work clothes to these young farmers. Sean O\u2019Brien, global director of footwear for the Original Muck Boot Company, based in Smithfield, R.I., has advertised in both Modern Farmer issues.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really targeted almost a new consumer group for us,\u201d Mr. O\u2019Brien said. \u201cWe sell a lot of boots to farmers and workers and outdoorsmen. You can look at a Modern Farmer as almost a hobby farmer. This a perfect vehicle to target that key consumer group.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms. Gardner has been quick to nurture her powerful supporters on the editorial and business sides. She asked Mr. Giustra to let one of her reporters travel with him and Mr. Clinton, whose foundation has benefited from Mr. Giustra\u2019s friendship and largess, when they visited Peru and Colombia in May. He declined, but instead she was able to arrange for the former president to contribute an article. He wrote about the work his foundation has been doing with farmers globally, like helping fisherman along Colombia\u2019s coast get their fish into restaurants. Mr. Clinton also offered his own recollections of helping his Uncle Buddy tend his farm plot in Arkansas.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a young boy, I picked beans, corn and tomatoes, poured tubs of water into sandy soil to grow large watermelons, fed animals and badly lost a head-butting contest to a ram,\u201d wrote Mr. Clinton, whose foundation staff worked with Ms. Gardner on the article.<\/p>\n

Ms. Gardner seeks business guidance daily from Rob Withers, managing director of Fiore Capital and part of Mr. Giustra\u2019s team. Mr. Giustra declined to comment. Ms. Gardner said she hoped to find a strategic investor to help support the magazine. She said she also hoped soon to add a chief technology officer to her nine-member staff and to hold farming conferences.<\/p>\n

The magazine has attracted a global following with the first print edition being sold in Britain, Germany and Australia as well as in the United States, according to Modern Farmer\u2019s spokeswoman, Jessie Cohen. Traffic on the\u00a0Web site<\/a>, which went live in April, grew to 99,000 unique visitors in the United States in July, according to comScore. The first print issue sold 35,000 copies on newsstands and 13,000 by subscription.<\/p>\n

Modern Farmer joins a surprisingly robust genre of farming magazines. The Alliance for Audited Media tracks 20 farming magazines in the United States and Canada and their circulation in the last three years has held strong. Scott Mortimer, publisher and general manager at Meredith Corporation, which includes Successful Farming, notes that grain prices are rising, land prices are at historical highs and the technology to produce crops has improved.<\/p>\n

Ms. Gardner may find that some of her biggest critics are not battle-hardened media types, but farmers. Allan Van Tassel, an 83-year-old lifelong farmer who is Ms. Gardner\u2019s neighbor, tells her regularly that the magazine does not have a chance of survival.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a nice idea,\u201d Mr. Van Tassel said. \u201cBut as I say, you drive up and down the road and you see these small conglomerates where they\u2019re going to raise things one year, two years. Then they\u2019re gone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms. Gardner does not discredit the perils of either publishing or farming. While Modern Farmer slowly and steadily progressed last year, a windstorm wiped out her entire crop of pears. This year, as she has logged long hours making Modern Farmer grow, her own garden has become overgrown. Eventually, she placed her trust in a professional.<\/p>\n

\u201cI brought in a farmer to help me,\u201d Ms. Gardner said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
