Progressive Publishing began more than 20 years ago. Founder Leon Leavitt designed the company’s first publication, Progressive Dairyman, to provide timely, professional information to dairy farmers in Idaho.

Over the years, Progressive Dairyman has grown in influence, becoming the source of dairy information in the Northwest and securing many loyal readers throughout the U.S. We now publish three additional magazines: El Lechero, Progressive Forage Grower and Progressive Cattleman.

Each year our company’s titles have grown in influence, and additional editors and editorial staff have been hired to handle the rapidly expanding responsibilities involved in delivering award-winning content to our readers.

Today we remain committed to disseminating, electronically and in print, pertinent information addressing all aspects of dairy and forage production and management. All four of our company’s magazines have a nationwide audience, reaching nearly 94,000 readers.

Our company handles all aspects of its magazines’ creation and circulation. From writing and editing to full-service ad design and layout, we are committed to providing unbiased, professional information relevant to the producers and advertisers in today’s agricultural markets. We are dedicated to meeting the needs of our readers.
