By now, you’ve likely seen the advertisements for our new, tablet-and-smartphone-friendly digital edition, or perhaps you read Walt Cooley’s editorial from the Oct. 1 issue. If you haven’t had time to explore it yourself, allow me to walk you through some of its unique features.
How do I get the digital edition?
To access the digital edition any time, visit Progressive Dairyman magazine on your preferred device. The new digital edition platform was established with the Sept. 12, 2018 issue.

How do I view it?

What are some unique features?
You can share the digital edition using the “Share” button via Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn or via email. You can search the digital edition for a specific product, topic or farm name using the search feature. You can even print off an individual article.
Website text is hyperlinked, meaning you can click to visit a site away from the digital edition. Links open in a new tab so you’ll be able to come back to the digital edition once you’ve finished exploring the website.
From the cover page, you can click to be taken directly to each story highlighted on the cover. To find a table of contents, look for the “…” button in the top left corner.
What kinds of articles will I see with each issue?
The new digital edition features a selection of articles from each issue. We’ve considered your valuable time by providing you with the top articles we don’t want you to miss from the issue. The selection typically includes any article highlighted on the cover, one or two articles from each featured topic, the front page editorial and the classified ad section.
What if I want to see all articles from the issue?
We have a link for that. In each digital edition, you’ll see an advertisement for a full list of articles from the issue. Click the link to be taken to the full list of articles.
If you want to skip over the digital edition and pull up a list of all articles from any issue, past or present, visit Progressive Dairyman search, enter the issue number (found in the footer on each page of the magazine) + the year + PD (no spaces). For example, this Nov. 7, 2018 issue would be 1818PD. (It’s issue 18 from the year 2018 in the magazine Progressive Dairyman). It won’t matter whether you select “All words,” “Any words” or “Exact phrase.”
