"The Landowner" Magazine
The OLA publishes a magazine, The Landowner. The first issue appeared early in 2006, and the magazine has been published every second month since that time. The magazine’s three areas of focus are stated on the front cover of every issue: “Rural people, rural politics, rural business.”
Under the heading “rural people”, the magazine includes lifestyle articles on such subjects as “Forgotten Foods” (which describes how to turn cattails, milkweed and acorns into delicacies), or on how to repair an old-fashioned wood cookstove. A regular feature is a column called “Blurbs on Herbs”, which advises on growing, storing and using edible and decorative herbs.
As part of its mandate to report on rural politics, The Landowner provides updates on the activities of the Landowner movement and also on issues that are important to the property right movement. Typical articles report on zoning laws, expensive water and land-use regulations, and editorials on bureaucratic tangles that make it difficult to farm, to sell home-made products at farmers’ markets, or to carry on independent business activities in rural areas.
Typical articles from the “rural business” part of the magazine include a discussion of whether it makes sense to install a biodigester on your farm to turn animal manure into methane which can be burned to generate electricity, and a regular update on the bait fishing industry.
