This month, CPM magazine is celebrating its 20th birthday!

Much has changed since the first edition in 1999, with many new crop protection products leaving and entering the market, changes to legislation and the revolution and adoption of business-changing technology.

For the magazine itself, much has changed too.  Arguably one of the biggest changes is the ongoing shift from print to digital. Many technical publications in other industries are now 100% digital – could this be the future direction for CPM?

Print vs digital

In celebration of 20 years of success, we want to get a better handle on what you value the most and which direction you want to see the magazine head in.

As well as this, we’re asking you to give us an insight into your current usage of the CPM website, and how good – or bad – your internet connection is.

CPM would be nothing without its valuable readers, so we hope you’ll take a few moments to complete this questionnaire. As a special prize from founder and publisher, Angus McKirdy, six lucky entrants will win a bottle of quality malt whisky – just complete the tie-breaker question at the end for your chance to WIN*.

For now, we’ll continue to print on a monthly basis and enjoy bringing you updates on a wide range of technical topics –– from sprays to sprayers, nutrient management to new wheat varieties and the very latest innovations from the brightest minds.

All our content is also available through the CPM website, with additional, web-exclusive news stories –– free and open access with no paywall nor login restriction. And despite this move to digital, in 2018 we published more print pages than we ever have before –– more than 1000 in one year –– so many thanks to the amazing CPM team for the hard work and unstinting efforts.

And of course, many thanks to you, the dedicated CPM reader.
