The Bare Essentials for Every Post We Publish
Successful contributions are comprehensive, data-rich, and personality-driven posts that teach our readers something new about the world of business.
We look for:
Original concepts, compelling arguments, and high-quality writing. We will not republish anything that's been published elsewhere.
-
Articles that reflect the writing style/tone of our Blog. We aim to be casual, yet helpful, and never jargon-ey.
-
Proper attribution of data, quotations, and outside content referenced in the article.
-
Note: All referenced data should have originated within the last two years.
-
No more than one link to your company's website in the body of the post.
-
Original work, no AI generated content allowed.
-
Links to at least 3-5 relevant Farmbrite blog posts in your piece.
The Types of Posts We Accept
-
Real World Farm Knowledge – Did you have an original idea that you were able to produce and sell in your local market? Did you improve on something you grew, produced, and sold on your farm? Write it up and send it over. These posts should include cited data, actionable takeaways, and thorough explanations of each step in the experiment or analysis process. Readers should have enough information to replicate your process on their farm if they'd like to.
-
Agricultural Tips and Tricks – These posts give readers in-depth tactical takeaways supported by relevant, recent examples, original quotes, original graphics, and current data. When readers finish this type of post, they should be able to execute on the given topic and have very few questions left on how to do it.
The Types of Posts We Do Not Accept
-
Anything that's been covered on our blog before or is in our content pipeline. Please do a site search before submitting your article ideas.
-
Anything that may be construed as a link-building scheme.
-
Anything that is not relevant for our audience.
-
Anything that's too promotional for your company or organization.
-
Anything offensive or inaccurate.
-
Anything that is not your unique and original work, including any generated AI content.
-
Articles that have already been published on other platforms or websites
-
Anything overly critical of individuals or companies — this is not a site to air grievances.
Formatting Tips
-
Use proper H2s, H3s, and H4s headings to organize your content.
-
Keep paragraphs short: No more than 3 sentences.
-
Add bulleted and numbered lists when appropriate.
-
Always include an introduction and a conclusion paragraph.
-
When including images from other publications, cite the image source as: “Image source” and hyperlink that text with the page you found the image on.
-
Copy and paste your post into Grammarly, or Microsoft Word and run a spell check.
-
Use Hemingway Editor to check for run-on sentences and difficult sentence structure.
-
Add relevant keywords.
-
Source your data and references.
About Our Blog Posts
This is an opportunity to write about a topic that interests you. It must be related to farming and agriculture, but the lens you choose to view this through is up to you--it can be expert subject matter about farming practices or a particular relevant farming topic. We are interested in hosting writers on a range of topics - we want to hear from enthusiastic experts in their field!
Articles are generally 1,200-2,500 words and follow a basic style guide. But these criteria are guidelines and if you have an idea for an article that would benefit from being longer/shorter, we would still like to hear from you. All articles are credited to the writer and include a short author bio.
We typically pay $250 USD per article, but if you have a standard rate please let us know as we want to compensate you fairly. In some cases we may agree to in-kind content exchanges with the right industry partners. (Note: If you are in the U.S. we require a W9 to pay you).
We want to publish the best, most relevant agricultural content for our audiences, but we can't guarantee the approval of your idea or the publication of your submission. We evaluate posts based on fit for our audience and the potential reach of each topic. We do not offer guaranteed publication to anyone, including customers, partners, and authors who have been featured on the blog before.
If your post is published on the Farmbrite Blog, we encourage you to share it with your network and link back to it. However, per our Content Usage Guidelines, you cannot republish the article on any other website – including your own website, or content platforms like LinkedIn, Medium, etc.
Note: At this time, we are not accepting guest blog posts that require the inclusion of specific external links with the sole intention of backlink generation. While some external links may be retained, our editorial team reserves the right to remove or replace any external links from posts at their discretion.
All final content decisions are at the blog team’s discretion.
This means the Farmbrite blog team reserves the right to:
Edit and adapt your guest blog content for search optimization, accuracy, comprehensiveness, and new information as information within the original piece becomes outdated or requires reevaluation.
Include calls-to-action to Farmbrite content and offers (e.g., downloadable e-books, offers, etc).
Use your guest author photo across our content (e.g., on Farmbrite’s social media channels and email newsletters).
Remove the post from the blog.
About You
You are a farmer, or agronomist, or have first-hand agricultural knowledge (whether about crops, cattle, sheep or pig (or other) farmer/rancher, have commercial crop grower experience, or something else agriculture-related). You have an agricultural topic you’re interested in, that you’d love to write about.
About Us
Farmbrite creates farm management software for commercial livestock and crop producers. We value excellent customer support and service-driven ethical business practices. Our customers and readers are looking for content about farm businesses. When thinking about an article topic, please keep in mind that our readers are running a commercial agricultural business not a hobby farm.
