Editorial standards

Editorial judgments are separated from sales, sponsorship, and platform partnerships. Sponsored or partner-supported work is labeled. Authors and editors disclose material conflicts that could affect a reader’s interpretation.

We favor primary records, public agencies, peer-reviewed research, original documents, and named subject-matter experts. Articles identify their source material and distinguish reporting, analysis, opinion, research republication, and platform reports.

Material factual errors are corrected promptly. Significant changes receive an update note explaining what changed and when. Minor spelling, formatting, and accessibility corrections may be made without a separate note.

LandConnect, FieldNotes, and The Silage are operated by GRO:FARM, LLC in St. Louis, Missouri. Revenue may come from platform services, subscriptions, marketplace activity, sponsorships, and commissioned work. Funding does not grant outside parties control of editorial conclusions.

Automation may assist research organization, transcription, summarization, or drafting. A responsible editor remains accountable for publication. AI assistance is disclosed when it materially shaped published work; invented sources and unsupported claims are prohibited.

We work to make articles, graphics, and supporting materials usable with assistive technology. Readers may report accessibility barriers to info@mygro.co for review and remediation.

Readers can request a correction or provide source evidence by emailing info@mygro.co. Include the page address, the passage in question, and supporting evidence so the editorial team can review it.
