Promising to focus on such agricultural
issues as the "application of manure," calf-raising, deep
plowing and "the culture of wheat, corn and other grains,"
the Western Farmer was issued in Detroit. The first issue of this
8-page, semimonthly publication had 100 subscribers; its second issue
had 1,000 subscribers. Subscribers could delay their one-dollar annual
payment until harvest time or they could give the publisher any
equivalent article that "can be used in [his] family." In
February 1843, the paper moved from Detroit to Jackson, and under new
ownership, became the Michigan Farmer and Western Agriculturalist.
