I believe in the future of Agriculture and that future is completely dependent on our youth.
That’s why we first started a newsletter that became a magazine over night! “The Bar 21 Ranch Kids Edition Magazine” is our newest pride and joy, and we’re already looking forward to the next one coming up in October!
We want to hear from the future leaders about all things agriculture, leadership, teamwork, problem solving, funny or imaginative stories, recipes, and even art!
I believe that we need to instill in our children at a young age the importance of finding things out for ourselves, working hard, being themselves in a cookie cutter world, dreaming big, and fearing God. If we don’t teach them the law of the harvest and how to respect mankind the world will teach them its lies. Plus, I know that just because they’re “little” does not mean they can’t make a BIG impact in our society!
And guess what! They don’t need to be farm kids either! Every kid, regardless of lifestyle or age, should always be scientists that find out for themselves what makes the world go round. We will of course require articles to be factual and agriculture based, but we’re more than happy to help edit and work with each child to help them present something they can be proud of while teaching others the true science of agriculture! Agriculture covers more than just food, so the writing possibilities are endless!
I am so excited for this project and can’t wait to work with you and your children to make this magazine! All ages under 18 are welcome to submit any of the items listed below. If you think of something we didn’t, we’d love to hear it! If you’re over 18 and would still love to write for us, email me and we’ll see what we can work out!
Types of work to submit:
Science Articles
Recipes created by the child or child’s family with permission
Artwork: drawings, paintings, photography, etc.
Creative writing
Jokes
Songs
Business reports
Motivational speeches
Experiences
Submit to thebar21ranch@gmail.com with the subject “kids newsletter entry.” Add your first name, age, and state you’re from. We won’t post that info without parent’s written permission, so tell us what you’re comfortable with us sharing, or not!
The theme for our second one is “The Law of the Harvest!” While not every entry has to follow the theme, we would love it if they could!
Submission deadline for the first magazine will be September 3, 2024!
By submitting you promise that the work is the work of the child’s with minimal to no help from others. We want to make sure credit goes where credit should! All work will be reviewed to make sure it’s factual and goes along the standards of The Bar 21 Ranch. While we don’t imagine we ever will use it, we reserve the right to dismiss and reject any article we deem isn’t a good fit for our magazine.
If your entry meets all the requirements, it will be published in our magazine online and throughout social media networks! Those with a featured article will get a printed copy! As you help us grow, we will add awards in different categories at the end of the year! In return, we simply ask that you follow our page, invite friends and family to follow, and share the magazine on social media to help us get sales. All the money it brings in goes right back into the magazine whether it’s for technology and costs to keep this going or back to the kids through thank you gifts or contest awards!
Thank you for your interest! You can email me at thebar21ranch@gmail.com for any questions!
