Write for Us Agriculture: Agriculture and Farming Guest Post Guidelines

Agriculture is a business, and most of the content about it online forgets that. It is either science for specialists or general facts anyone could look up. What this blog wants is the business side of farming told by people who do it: how a farm found new buyers, cut costs, added a farm shop, used technology or marketed its produce, with the numbers behind it.

My readers are business owners, founders and marketers, and some of them run farms, food businesses, garden centres and rural enterprises. They want lessons they can use, so an agriculture post has to be practical, specific and written in plain English.

60-second agriculture guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Do you farm, grow or work in the agricultural business you describe
• Can you share a real number, season or before and after result
• Does your opening answer the reader's question straight away
• Would a small farm or rural business owner know what to do next
• Have you removed any sales pitch for one product or supplier

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• How a farm or grower found new customers, direct or wholesale
• Farm shops, box schemes and selling direct to the public, with the results
• Agritech and farm software that saved time or money, tested in the field
• Marketing produce, livestock or rural services on a small budget
• Cost cutting, diversification and new income on a working farm
• Sustainable farming changes and what they did to the bottom line
• Hiring, training and keeping seasonal staff
• Weather, supply and market risk managed by a real business
• Urban farming, smallholdings and market gardening as a business

If your post could be published on any agriculture site with the logo swapped, it is not for us.

What we don't accept

• General farming facts and school style explainers
• News rewrites and policy summaries with no lesson
• Promotion of one product, supplier or machine
• Posts with no first-hand farming or agribusiness experience
• Previously published posts republished from another site

What you get

• Your article in front of an engaged audience of business owners, marketers and founders
• One relevant, contextual link back to your own site
• A byline and the credibility of an established, high-traffic blog
• Editorial help to make the piece as strong as it can be before it goes live

How to submit

Send your pitch or draft through the contact form. Include the topic, the one specific problem the post solves, and a line on your first-hand experience with it. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on whether it is a fit before you write the full draft.

What a strong agriculture pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about the importance of agriculture for the economy." A strong one says "We moved a third of our vegetable sales from a wholesaler to a weekly box scheme and our margin per crate nearly doubled in one season, so I want to show how we found the first hundred customers and what went wrong along the way." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• Selling direct: a farm shop or box scheme from the first season
• Farm diversification that paid off, and one that did not
• Agritech tools that earned their cost on a real farm
• Marketing a farm on social media without a marketing team
• Pricing produce when costs keep moving
• Finding and keeping seasonal workers
• Water, soil and energy savings with the numbers
• Selling to restaurants, shops and local markets
• Agritourism, farm stays and events as extra income
• Starting a smallholding or market garden as a business
• Record keeping and farm data made simple
• Lessons from a bad harvest year and how the business survived

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept agriculture guest posts?

Yes. Agriculture guest posts are welcome from farmers, growers and agribusiness professionals who can share what they did and what happened. We publish practical business articles and decline general farming facts and news rewrites.

What agriculture topics do you accept?

Farm business, selling direct, farm shops, agritech, marketing produce, diversification, sustainability, staffing, risk and smallholdings. The focus is always the business lesson, not the biology.

Do I need to be a farmer to write for you?

You need first-hand experience of the agricultural business you describe. That can be farming, growing, advising farms, building farm technology or marketing produce. Writers with no experience of the work are declined.

Can I write about farming technology?

Yes, if you have used or built it on real farms and can show the result. Posts written only to sell one machine, app or supplier are declined.

How long should a guest post be?

Most accepted posts run between 1,200 and 2,000 words. Length matters less than usefulness: a tight 1,200 word post with one clear lesson beats a 3,000 word overview every time. Use short paragraphs, clear subheadings and at least one real example.

Can I include a link back to my own site?

One contextual link back to your own site is fine when it is relevant and helps the reader. Posts written purely to build a backlink with no real value for the reader are not published.

Do you accept previously published content?

No. Every submission must be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium, LinkedIn or a guest slot on another site. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before anything goes live.

Can I use AI tools to help write my guest post?

You can use AI to help with research or tidying your draft, but the experience, examples and opinions must be yours. Posts that read like generic AI output, with no first-hand detail, are declined.

Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?

Commercial and partnership enquiries are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If you are a brand or agency wanting to work together rather than pitch an article, say so in the contact form and you will get the right details back.

How long does a decision take?

We aim to come back to you within a few working days. If the pitch is specific and clearly written, with the result in the first line, the decision is much faster.

Do you edit guest posts before they go live?

Yes. Every accepted post gets an editorial pass for clarity, structure and accuracy, and you may be asked for an extra example or a missing number. The aim is to make your piece as useful as it can be, not to change your voice.

Can I pitch more than one idea?

Yes, but send them one at a time or as a short numbered list with one line each. The strongest pitch goes first, and a single clear idea with a real result almost always beats several vague ones.

How do I submit an agriculture guest post?

Send your pitch through the contact form with the topic, the specific result or lesson you will cover, and a line on your own farming or agribusiness experience. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
