This Email / Newsletter Policy explains how CropFarming.org collects and uses email addresses, what kind of messages we send, how often we send them, and how you can unsubscribe or manage your preferences. This policy applies to any email updates, newsletters, or email-based communication sent by CropFarming.org.

Who Sends the Emails

Emails are sent by CropFarming.org, an independent website operated individually under the CropFarming.org name from Topeka, Kansas, United States. If you ever want to confirm whether a message is truly from us, contact us using the email addresses listed at the bottom of this page.

How You Join the List

Opt-In Only

We only send newsletters or marketing-style emails to people who sign up voluntarily. Typical signup methods may include a form on the Site, a “subscribe” box, or a form tied to a specific guide or resource.

Double Opt-In (When Available)

If our email service supports it, we may use a confirmation step (double opt-in) to reduce spam signups and make sure the address belongs to the person subscribing.

What We Send

Educational Updates

Most emails are practical farming content, such as: new crop guides, new crop practice articles, seasonal reminders, tool and equipment guidance, and updates to older posts when something important changes.

Product Mentions and Affiliate Links

Some emails may include product recommendations or links to tools and supplies. Those links may be affiliate links (including Amazon affiliate links). If you buy through those links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We aim to keep recommendations tied to usefulness for real crop work, not hype.

Administrative Emails

If you subscribe, we may send administrative messages such as confirmation emails, preference updates, policy updates, or notices about major changes to our email program. These messages are not typically promotional, and they may be sent even if you opt out of promotional emails, where allowed by law, because they are necessary to run the service you requested.

Email Frequency

We do not promise a fixed schedule. Some weeks may be quiet, and some weeks may include more messages when we publish new guides or seasonal content. Our goal is to send useful emails, not fill your inbox.

What Information We Collect for Email

When you subscribe, we typically collect your email address and may collect basic information you provide (such as your name). Our email service provider may also record technical data to help deliver messages and measure engagement, such as whether an email was delivered, opened, or whether a link was clicked. This helps us understand what readers find useful and reduce unwanted messages.

Our Email Service Providers

We may use a third-party email service provider to store our subscriber list and send emails. That provider processes email addresses and related delivery data on our behalf to provide email delivery, list management, unsubscribes, and basic reporting. We do not provide your email address to unrelated third parties for their own marketing.

Unsubscribing and Managing Preferences

Unsubscribe Anytime

You can unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link in the email (when available). Once you unsubscribe, you should stop receiving future newsletter emails after our system processes your request.

If the Unsubscribe Link Is Missing

If an email ever arrives without a working unsubscribe option, email us and we will remove you manually.

Preference Controls (If Offered)

If we offer a preference center in the future, you may be able to reduce frequency or choose specific topics instead of unsubscribing completely.

No Spam and No Selling Your Email

We do not sell your email address for money, and we do not rent our subscriber list. We use email to communicate about CropFarming.org content and related tools and resources.

Protecting Your Information

We use reasonable safeguards and reputable service providers to protect subscriber data. However, no system can guarantee perfect security. For your own protection, avoid emailing sensitive personal information.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Email / Newsletter Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our email practices, tools, or legal requirements. We will update the “Last updated” date at the top when we post changes.
