As part of our 75th birthday, we look back at interesting editorial stories during each decade (see 1940s, 1950s and 1960s).

For fun, we’re also taking a look at the some of the advertising during each decade, since these valuable companies provide the revenue that helps us send you a free magazine.

Check out these advertisements we found when examining back issues from November 1974 through October 1975. You’ll find familiar company and brand names like Asgrow, Agripro, Sencor, Cargill, Continental Grain, Northrup King, Grace, BASF, Nitragin, Helena, Paraquat and more.
